Can't add a playlist (using a Mac)

This can't be as difficult as it seems. Just to make sure the SD card is clean I formatted it, then mounted the SD card and using doubleTwist did the following:

- Brought my iTunes playlists into doubleTwist

- Selected the one I wanted on the Droid (named "Mobile Phone")

- Drug it to the connected Droid and the songs start transferring just fine (there's only about 300 in this playlist).

- Transfer gets about 70% completed and just hangs up. DoubleTwist at this point is hung up so can't unmount the SD card. Unplug the USB cable

- Now when I go to the SD card it says "SD card is busy" but of course nothing is happening.

- At this point I have to do a battery pull to gain access to the SD card in order to format it again

Vicious cycle...tried several times...just won't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

If anyone else if having this problem I've found the culprit...the SD card! Have Verizon switch out the SD card to one from a different lot and the problem is solved.
