My theory is like this:

(1) Your first try by upgrade_by_passwd.py failed by some other reason.

(2) Your second try by gnuk_put_binary_libusb.py failed because you
    repeat writing to the slot 0.  The slot 0 for public key was written
    by the process of (1) already.  In this situation, writing to the
    slot again results GPG_MEMORY_FAILURE (the error code of 0x6581),
    because the place can be only written once.

Please do not use lower level tool like gnuk_put_binary_libusb.py,
unless you don't know the detail.  Please use upgrade_by_passwd.py
instead.

I suggest to identify the original issue, if you have a record of your
trial.  If not, please try upgrade_by_passwd.py with the option '-k' to
specify another slot 1, you must record all the session, this time.
Then, please examine your problem in the record and fix your issue(s) at
first.  After you will fix your issue, you can try upgrade_by_passwd.py
with the option '-k' specifying slot 2, again.

Please note that there are only four slots (0, 1, 2, and 3) available
and all are write-once.  You can only fail one more time.
