. any clues would be really appreciated..

Check that the 5000's FW is up to date. And that you've got a "newer'(see link below) SD card. A friend of mine has a 5000 and he uses a "newer' 16GB SD card no problem.

SDA Host v1(v1.01, v1.10. FAT12 and FAT16) could read to a 2GB card, with SDA Host v2(FAT32) reading to 32GB. But I can only confirm my friends 5000 and my two 855's w/16GB cards.

Too, the format on the card, FAT16 vs FAT32, can also exhibit what you're experiencing between units. Yea, it gets tricky concerning compatibility between devices, the SDA Host installed, and the cards format.

Also, read the below for a possible incompatibility with older and or non-compliant SD card issues:
