I'm not primarily a Mac user, so I don't know what the root cause might be. But the first thing I would do is try to get the file(s) backed up, off that card. Suggestions:

- Make the card read-only, so it cannot be written to any more (there should be a tab, for that).
- Try another system, preferably a Windows PC, to see if it can read the card.
- Try a USB SD reader, and not the D2.

If you can get the data backed up, then I would probably undo the tab change and then format the card - preferably with the Panasonic Windows utility. I know that you're a Mac user, but that utility really does seem to work wonders with stability issues - I use Ubuntu but the tool works fine in an XP VM image.

i dont now whats happening over ther,no answer in my tread any how,but i see that in the last days ppl seams to starting have problem whit Mac/D2 combos!
Maybe some update in Os-X making a conflict!!
But it shude be a shame if i have to start to juse my Ipod again,or do i have to buy a Pc again just to run my D2!(then i think i will have to think one more time about my head-fi hobby!)
i soon will give bootcamp/7 a try to see if that solve my problems!(but Win7 is so damn expensiv just to try if that solv my problem!)
Well i hope some one over hear sooooon can give me a hint of whats gone wrong!!
it cant be only me that got this problem whit Mac/D2 over hear!
Pleas if some one find a cure,let me now!!
