I'll have to watch more closely.  I've seen the .Trash or whatever directory 
eat up space when I thought I was deleting stuff, but wasn't.  I don't think 
I've ever noticed any missing space after taking care of this issue.

I would have suspected something like you did, about bad sectors.

Who knows.  It's very possible there's some insidious bug with vfat that 
causes this problem.
