1 Gigabyte SD card "full" after 467 MB [SOLVED]

Thanks to all who gave advice. It turns out, as a few of you had 
suggested, the problem was a limit on the number of files.

The SD card in question was formatted on my Palm Pilot, so I don't know 
if that's FAT16 or what, but it's behaving in a FAT16 way as described 
here. I'd reformat it to some file system that was less quirky, except I 
want to be able to play MP3s and OGGs on my Palm, so my Palm T|X is 
calling the shots.

Fortunately, since only the root has this problem, as mentioned above, 
I've moved everything into subdirectory, and that seems to have made the 
entire 1GB available.

Thanks for providing the information that solved this issue.
