It sounds like you really have to swap USB stick. Try another one.....

Could be but I read on another thread that mines supposed to work fine - that said I've just tried stripping off the software that came with it and will see soon.
But even though they're cheap I dont have the cash kicking around to just try loads of brands.

Well I bought another USB - still the same error.
Okay here's what I'm using:
USBs
SanDisk cruzer 4gb micro
Transcend JetFlash V30 2GB
IMG files (applied using dd.exe)
ATVpatchstick2.1.img
ATVPatch-3.0.img
Heres the command lines I'm putting in to write the image
dd --list
dd if=atvpatch-3.0.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk2\DP(1)0-0+9 bs=1M --progress
\\?\Device\Harddisk2\DP(1)0-0+9 is what --list returns as my removable drive like so
\\.\Volume{1726eb56-9863-11dd-9571-0013d4dea6d7}\
link to \\?\Device\Harddisk2\DP(1)0-0+9
removeable media
Mounted on \\.\f:
Can you see anything I'm doing wrong as this is peeing me off just a little now as I bought all this to use XBMC as it by far and away the best media application I've seen.
Thanks,
Lumpy...

just a note for those playing with dd.exe on windows. dd.exe is very unforgiving, if you select the wrong drive, it will not care.
One way of keeping the mistake factor down is to have dd.exe only look at removable disks. To do this, rename
dd.exe
to
dd-removable.exe
This is only allow listing and dd operations to/from removable disks.

no problem, and just an status update to atvusb-creator, looks like OSX issues have been resolved and I'm turning my attention now to the windows version.
