Okay, that probably explains your problem.
As Branko also said on this thread (but you might have missed it, he
replied only to the list, so if you aren't subscribed ...):

If you go to the page linked above, you'll see at the bottom that the
default cluster size for exFAT is 128 KB if your volume is 32 GB or
larger. So this extremely large "size on disk" for so little actual
data is expected, and is caused by the configuration of your
filesystem. As Branko said, the easiest fix is to fix your filesystem.
Either switch to NTFS or some other filesystem, or if you really
*must* use exFAT, try to format the drive with a smaller cluster size
(I suppose 128 KB is the default, but you can still use a smaller
setting if you deviate from the default -- that's just a guess, I
don't know exFAT).
