exFAT mounting problem

Hi, I'm trying to mount an exFAT harddrive via usb. The disk is recognized and show in the disk utility, but i cannot activate it. The only error I get is in the Console :

28.02.11 20:38:36 kernel exfat: bytes per cluster (4194304) > MAXBSIZE (1048576). Can't mount.

Any chance of getting access to the drive? It mounts perfectly under Windows 7.

Thanks!
Regards,

Format to cluster 1024. I was having the same problems to and formatting exFAT to cluster 1024 resolved it.
