Help NEW MKIIN killed two CFs Why?

Just got my new MKIIN. Tried 2 different Ultra II 2.0GB CFs. It seems to have clobbered both??
Had set for both Raw & JPG L. Out of 45 shots only 2 pairs are readable by Breeze Browser or anything else. The in camera display shows all the photos fine on the LCD. Other cameras also show the photos on their LCDs. I tried reformating, no change. These were both fine when I was testing a new lens a half hour earlier on a 20D. Tried reformating in the 20D now and the photos show on display, but nothing else can read them. 20D is fine with other CFs.
All pins are straight on reader and both cameras.

Here is the excif from one of the pictures (jpg) that can be read:

Why is the Focal length: 2048mm when the RAW excif shows the correct Focal length: 55mm.
Also say selftimer set to 65 seconds when it was not.
Any help would be great!!
Will be calling B&H for a replacement Sunday or Monday if no solution.

Hi John,

Do you have other NON Ultra II 2.0GB CF cards that work OK in the 1DmkIIn?

Have you tried a disk utility on the suspect CF cards?
