mkdir error on Teensy 3.6 onboard SD card using SdFat TwoCards

[pRabbit]

The short of it:
I'm using a Teensy 3.6 and a (slightly) modified TwoCards.ino routine from the SdFat library setup for the Teensy SdCard slot and an SPI SdCard. CardInfo for both the cards runs fine, but when I run TwoCards, the Teensy SdCard gives an error on mkdir.

I have no idea how to debug this, so any thoughts are most welcome. SdInfo.ino works for both (by changing USE_SDIO) and TeensySdioDemo.ino works for the Teensy. I also swapped the SD cards and the issue stayed with the Teensy. I also used the Formatting.ino routine to format bot cards and nothing changed. When I run TwoCards I get "error: sd2.mkdir". Based on all of this I assume that wiring, SdCard formatting and all of the hardware issues are all good.

My modified TwoCards routine:
I just changed:
- CS pin for Sd1 (Sd1 is the SPI Sd Card)
- commented out all SC stuff for Sd2 (Sd2 is the Teensy Sd Card)
- Changed class for sd2 from SdFat to SdFatSdioEx
- changed line sd2.begin(SD2_CS) command to sd2.cardBegin()

Ugh, answering my own question: It looks like I was using some other (or older) version of the SdFat library. I got the most recent SdFat from https://github.com/greiman/SdFat and modified the examples and all is well now. Hopefully this helps someone...
