Do you have the "alen" set to 2?  The 24AA256 has two bytes of address.  "Returning" 0xFF sounds like the chip is not responding for the reads after the first two bytes.

How did you verify the data you wrote?  If you are using the read that you complained about, you cannot be sure it is reading _anything_ right (e.g. if your addressing is wrong, you likely are writing to the same wrong location that you are reading from).

If all else fails, hook up a logic analyzer (or digital scope).  This is the most efficient way to debug i2c problems.
