Don't know why... Maybe I changed some setting... It's flashing the rootfs as I type now...
Just for the record, the following sequence worked for me (and the normal one didn't - probably some udev change I've made to my system):

0) Run flasher up to the "waiting" point as described on the maemo wiki
1) Battery out
2) Wait 10 secs
3) Battery in
4) IMMEDIATELY plug USB in
5) IMMEDIATELY plug power in

Then it started flashing the device. Took about 5 mins or so in total.

HTH,
