I don't have this drive, but I was wondering if it'd be worth your while & ultimately easier to crack open the enclosure and use it as a bare drive instead if you can't find a resolution. If you're using a Mac Pro with an open bay, pop it in there or maybe pick up a drive dock or WiebeTech. My philosophy is that if you're getting errors that make no sense, you could be walking through the door to actual transfer errors or corruptions and compromising your data.

It's ironic because I have just now returned from my local Apple store where I just picked up a Hitachi G-Tech 2TB drive, as we are experiencing very similar issues with a GoFlex for Mac, 2TB (silver color) using the same specs as you, FW 800.
