Are all units an "Ultra6"? You cannot use an Ultra6Plus vpd in an Ultra6 (though you can interchange an Ultra6Plus and Pro6, since they have the same hardware). The vpd defines the unit type and serial number -- they are one way Netgear made it difficult to use ReadyNAS OS on generic hardware.
Other possibilities are that the flash is actually bad or you are making a mistake in the copy process. Lastly is that you have misdiagnosed the problem.
