It's possible, but first I'd like to understand why this is
happening.

I suspect that the stick has two partitions, and the first may
only be a small one.  I also suspect that DOSFS etc. all deal
with just one partition per device, so they would be blind to
any subsequent partitions.

Does anyone know of any existing tools that will list all the
partitions on a drive?  Otherwise I'll have to write one.

*If* it's cause by multiple partitions, then reformatting
wouldn't fix it unless it repartitioned the stick into one.
And let's not forget the *if*; I'm making a flying leap to
an unsound conclusion here :-)
