Good News - Based on suggestion from another forum I tried creating a new folder and formatting. It worked !! If any of you see this issue here is a workaround -
1. Go to "Shooting Menu" ("MENU" button and then "Shooting menu" )
2. Select "Active Folder" menu option.
3. Select "New Folder Number"
4. Just bump up the counter
5. Press OK.
6. Go to "Setup Menu"
7. Format the card !!
Hope Nikon will fix this issue in their next firmware release. I am unable to reproduce the problem now with the new 16GB card too. May be it happens sometimes..
Hmmmm....this gives me an idea. The auto rollover function on my D3x doesn';t work. i.e. when the first card is full, the second one doesn't accept additional images even though it is told to do so. I wonder if I give the second card a different name....
Thanks for the tip!

Well... I use the two-button 'format' command every time I put a card back in the camera after saving files onto the HD, and have done so in all Nikon bodies since this was an option. 100% no-problems; many tens of thousands of images.
Moving, deleting, etc., via the computer is (IMHO, anyway) potential problem-city. YMMV, of course. Reason is computers and cameras do not use the same protocols for deletion or formatting; truly, better to do this in-camera. Formatting is like starting over: safer all around.
