That's the one I use.  It hasn't failed me before, and I don't it was the culprit here.  

My client has a new drive ready for me, and I'll soon know for sure if the formatting was bad.  That's my suspicion.  Apple Disk Utility saw it as a Mac OS Extended drive, and Drive Genius thought it was NTFS.  That suggests to me that something was wrong with the disk, not my computers.
