It seemed to happen when the N800 was in "sleep mode" (display was dark) and likely there was simultaneous download of map file from internet (using phone as a DUN modem). Maybe the file system and ethernet have some critcal processes that can cause the file system not to write properly to the card and corrupts it???

Reformatting the 8GB card recovered it, but I put it aside now until a real fix is found for this issue!

I just posted this message in another thread regarding the exact same thing:

My cards had become corrupted too, and where I really noticed it was using Canola. The songs would be in the listing, but when it tried to play the songs, some of them would give an "Error" message. Plus, the "Rescan" button never seemed to finish on mine...I could be doing something a few hours later, and then the "Canola finished..." window would pop up where the battery meter is. I deleted my 128 swap file and reformatted both cards from within the File Manager, and all is well now. I also deleted Canola.

Do you have Canola installed on your N800? If so, we may have found the culprit for the funky card problems. I am using the same Patriot 8GB SDHC cards as you. I guess I could start using the built-in media player, but the UI really leaves something to be desired.
