Thanks Clinton, that was the fix. I accessed the device only from the terminal and removed all the dot-files placed on the card by OSX.
Thanks again!

However, when I turn off the unit, I get I constant low alarm tone. The only way to make it stop is to remove batteries.
This symptom is similar to that caused in certain units (eTrex) when a SD card was used which had been previously written o on a Mac OS X system. Mac OS copied hidden files to the SD card, which interfered with the unit.
If your SD card has been used in a Mac OS machine, you may wish to investigate this.
