sd backup & restore requirements

I made several clones of 16 GB sd card using clonezilla, without any problems.
Did restores as well using conezilla.
But now, all of a sudden, clonezilla imaging wizzard does not show the sd card as a candidate to backup from or restore to.
Tried several sd cards, tried two laptops to run clonezilla on.
Did several formatting operations of the sd cards as well.
I use the clonzillla that ships with ultimate boot cd 5.2.8. (on usb pen drive).
Linux OS does recognize the sd cards, ignored by clonezilla. SD card can be mounted/unmounted and files can be viewed, sd card caan be formatted. So SD card is not corrupt, seemingly.
SD cards function well together with win32diskimager, which means that sd cards are not damaged or corrupt.
What can clonezilla make to not recognize (ignore) the sd cards in the imaging wizzard, previously used?
Could you please try the Clonezilla live downloaded from
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
?
Besides, please also use the method we mentioned here to create a bootable USB flash drive:

It would be easier for us to discuss and focus on the same program.
Thanks.
Steven.
I just tried 2.4.2-4 testing release live image and I have exactly the same problem as the one described on the first message of this thread. My Debian Jessie recognizes the same microsd card without problems.
@Juha,
Could you please run these commands in Clonezilla live command line prompt?
1. sudo -i
2. blkid
3. cat /proc/partitions
Please post the results of (2) and (3).
Thanks.
Steven.
