Can't Write to my Micro SD card on my phone using USB cable

I can see the files on my krzr phone when mounted via usb cable, but I can read/write using Bluetooth just not with USB isn't that wierd?
(I've read some forums about locks on the cards this is the super tiny kind with no slidable lock)
If have a lot of music want to transfer and the bluetooth takes a while

Can't change when look at permission in info.
Any thoughts..

Mac BookPro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can likely read/write through bluetooth because that wouldn't require any extra software on the Mac's end. I think that accessing the phone through USB requires interface software on the Mac. The KRZR may not come up as what is called a "USB Mass Storage Device" and thus can't be used as a disk. What you can do is take that MicroSD card and put it in a MicroSD --> SD Adapter. Then you can get a USB card reader and put the card into that and it would mount on your Mac. As far as I know about Motorola phones, you would be able to put MP3's, photos, etc on it, but I don't think ringtones can be transferred this way.
