I've been having the same problem. I've searched several web resources and have yet to find a clear-cut answer.
Yes, I can reformat the card and recover the trapped memory, but that is just a crude workaround, and not fixing the underlying problem.
Other features of the problem:
1. Pressing the HOME button to examine the card contents shows an empty card, even when it has data that other apps clearly are using (e.g. pocket tunes uses the MP3 files present, photos can be viewed and new ones added with the camera)
2. In pTunes, files cannot be deleted properly. The workaround here is to give the delete command, then when the message occurs saying "file cannot be deleted", remove and reinsert the card. That deletes it from the list in pTunes, but it doesn't free up the memory accessible to the Treo.
3. I suspect pTunes may play some role in this problem.
4. I have a number of other apps installed: I wonder about Butler, McPhling, ...
