This would make sense, except that when I originally got the card it registered at ~8GB, when I format using xterm on the n800 it registers at ~2GB, and when I formated using windows it registered ~8GB. I used the df command to check the drive size. Oh - it also registers at 2GB on windows after the n800 format iteration...

There's a -F parameter you give to mkfs.vfat which determines the FAT type to use, -F 12, -F 16 or -F 32... the default will vary between 12 and 16 depending on whatever fits best for filesystem size, which would explain why you ended up with FAT16.
You have to explicity specify -F 32 to get a FAT32 filesystem.
Here's the man page for mkfs.vfat.

You are lucky to have a SDHC card reader for your pc. I am stuck with 2gb untill I find some way to format the device fat 32. Any way to do this from the n800?

I don't have a reader. Well - the n800 is the reader. Just connect it to the PC, right click on the card (shows up in My Computer as a drive) and choose format.
