Did you actually unlock the pages that will be written during the 
"fis create"?  What was the command that you used?

What happens if you try this in some other region of the FLASH?
If you do "fis init -f" (to erase all of the FLASH) - does every
block get erased?

Finally, there was a small change to the StrataFlash lock/unlock code
just last week.  If you've not tried it, maybe that will help.
