This is only speculation but it is possible that it is formatted Fat32 
if larger than 2GB but that it is done as a Large Floppy and not as 
partition-able media.  Currently only FAT16 can be accessed when the 
drive is formatted as large floppy (there have been reports of someone 
being able to access a FAT32 Large Floppy but I have not known anyone to 
reproduce the success as yet).  If this is indeed the case, then one 
possible workaround is to partition the card and format it with DFSee to 
Fat32 and then see if that helps.  I was successful with one camera to 
not only do that but to also delete the folder that the camera created 
to put its photos in and to recreate it as a light table.  Your level of 
success will be determined by the camera and if it needs anything 
proprietary as Kris mentioned and if to put that proprietary stuff on 
requires the camera to do its own format.
