> After formatting the 2 new partitions, 1st 6GB vfat, 2nd 1.xGB ext3, I restart the phone so things will mount accordingly (still in QT, mind you). When I ssh in now, it shows a vfat partition mounted in /media/card that is only 1gb. No sign of the ext3 partition.

My guess is that the filesystems were not created properly (probably
because the partition-reread failed for some reason).  Now that you've
rebooted and that the two partitions have been properly read, try to
re-create the filesystems (i.e. re-run the mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext3
commands).
