I use badblocks to check for unreadable sectors. I find that CF can gain
corrupt sectors when power is lost suddenly. These can almost always be
fixed by re-writing them. I use badblocks -w to do the re-writing.
Your message seems to imply a problem writing, badblocks -w would write
several patterns to the device so would be a good 'stress test'
