Hi thabangh,
I should report a better error message. I have seen this problem when no SD
card is
inserted, or when the SD card is not mounted correctly.
Are you able to read the SD card from other applications? For example, if you
have
music on the card, can you play that music?
Are you able to backup and/or restore your secrets? That reads and writes to
the SD
card as well.
Is it possible that that the SD card is full?

I'm sorry to seem dumb, but is there any other memory (e.g., onboard) besides
the SD
card? The phone came with an SD card (which I can see when I open the little
slot
on the side). I've never taken the thing out. I can see pictures, play music,
and
when I plug the phone into the computer, I can see all of the files there as
drive
D. I put a file in place as D://secrets.csv, but the Secrets application can't
import it.
The card is not full. The "DiskUsage" application shows 267 MB used, and it's
a 1GB
card.
I tried doing an export, and Secrets seems to have created a 1kb file
called "secrets" (no extension). There was no error message. When I tried to
do a
restore, however, I get a message that says, "Uh oh. Unable to restore your
secrets. Make sure your password ..."

Hi thabangh,
The phone has internal memory on top of the sdcard memory.
There are two separate functions: 1) backup + restore, and 2) import + export.
The first pair is used to make a backup of your secrets to the sdcard. This is
done using a
file called 'secrets' in the root directory of the sdcard. You can also
restore from this
file. The format of this file is proprietary to secrets.
The second pair is used mainly to transfer secrets/passwords from another
password manager
application into secrets, or transfer secrets/passwords from secrets to another
password
manager application. Secrets will import or export from/to a filed called
'secrets.csv' in
the root directory of the sdcard. This file must be in a specific format, see
the project
home page for more details.

Cannot reproduce this problem.

For future reference, the problem was that the serial cable was still
connecting the
phone to the computer. Apparently, you don't get read/write access until the
drive
is unmounted.
