I think the OP in this thread migght be having the same trouble:

Look at the fsck.vfat output from an earlier post:

[root@kindle root]# fsck.vfat /dev/loop/0
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Clearing dirty flag
Long filename fragment ":6eh:1BL:2bg:2ZI:E7v:9jb:4JF:DgE:B-j:FqH:2ot:EtR:81U" found outside a LFN sequence.
  (Maybe the start bit is missing on the last fragment)
1: Delete fragment
2: Leave it as it is.
3: Set start bit

  Has a large number of bad entries. (74/142)
Drop directory ? (y/n) y

Leaving file system unchanged.
/dev/loop/0: 20210 files, 218266/817083 clusters

This pointed me to a sub-directory of documents/Downloads/Items01 as a source of many problems.

As noted I then sftp mounted the PW4 and was able to delete that problematic sub-directory and then fsck.vfat gave clean results.

I am still a bit puzzled by the whole thing, as fsck.vfat offered to delete it for me but did not do so even when told to.

Hopefully this is helpful and never seen again.
