I think there's some issues with the filesystem. I had something similar happen last night when I was repeatedly using rsync to get stuff onto the reader, unmount, run the code, plug in, get the logs from the run, and rsync again. Eventually my filesystem got into a situation where I got something like "Invalid memory state... formatting", which should erase all data, but the reader fails at that. Trying to erase some files resulted in "cannot perform operation: read-only filesystem". So I looked at the logs inside the reader, and indeed there was some kind of filesystem error.

Honestly, I think that's pretty lame, simple reading/writing to the system messing it up like that. If it's the same problem I'm having, try run chkdsk or some kind of filesystem check program on the reader's memory. If that doesn't work, get what you can off it and format it. Alternatively, try unplug and plug in again via USB... for reasons unknown that seems to help.

Then again, I'm not 100% certain my error was -13, it might've been -43, but just in case trying a checkdsk on the reader's internals (READER) won't do any harm. Good luck!
