Downloader and Encrypted Media Card - Doesn't Work?

I could never get the downloader to transfer files from my PC to my BBerry. I got lucky once when I installed a new SD card but after that it never worked. Today I think I finally figured out the problem. I have a corporate Bberry. My company has a policy that they remotely administer requiring the the media card be encrypted. As of today my Bberry no longer was remotely administered hence I could remove the media card encryption (I guess this is one good thing to be said about getting laid off). As soon as the encryption was turned off and I formatted the SD card, the Downloader software once again worked transferred podcasts to the Bberry.

Marcus, does this make sense?

Yep. The SD card encryption prevents any third party apps from reading or writing to the SD card, which basically makes it unusable for all but the built in player. Sadly I haven't discovered a way around it...
