I don't know. i have never used sdloop.

???? what is a removable device?

could it be the 1k sector size you'r forcing? can you compare the size of the
dos partition? compare output of:

disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdl0/data

vs.

disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdXX/data

have you tried omiting the !1024? it should then default to 512 byte sectors.
