Interesting... Using dd the maximum size I can produce on a VFAT card is one byte under 2GiB, and the limit seems to be imposed by the kernel: when dd reaches that it receives signal 25 (SIGXFSZ) and dies.

I'm running an scp now but it estimates it's going to take another hour or so...

How do I repair this directory?
If rm doesn't work, try

Code:
$ perl -le 'unlink "In the Shadow of the Moon (Recorded Jul 16, 2009, TDCC).mpg";'
If that doesn't work either, you'll probably have to resort to dosfsck. Assuming your card is /dev/mmcblk1p1:

Code:
# umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
# dosfsck -d "In the Shadow of the Moon (Recorded Jul 16, 2009, TDCC).mpg" \
/dev/mmcblk1p1
# dosfsck -a /dev/mmcblk1p1
