He is working on a fix for it now, so will post it when he finds out more.

Do you mean padding or lack of padding?
The header says 3040x2024 but the camera is supposed to generate 3024x2016. If there are 3024x2016 pixels in the data but the header says there should be 3040x2024 then that explains the "*** Error: checking data fill: tried to move past end of file" since it should have another 56576 pixels of data.
If PI believes the header it can't work without fixing the header. Otherwise Ian will have to provide some means for you to tell PI what the correct NAXIS1 and NAXIS2 are.
Any chance of getting SX to fix their software?
There's a program from ESO to replace a header line.
http://archive.eso.org/saft/replacekey/ with a link to the doco.
It compiles under CygWin (and would require some work to compile with MSVC) so I could send you the program and the DLL it needs.
replacekey my.fits "NAXIS1 = 3024" "NAXIS1"
replacekey my.fits "NAXIS2 = 2016" "NAXIS2"
