Looks to me that you assumed the force of the rope on the mass was equal to the weight of the hanging mass. That's not true. (If it were true, the hanging mass would be in equilibrium.)

Instead, call the rope tension T. Apply Newton's 2nd law to both masses, then combine the equations to solve for the acceleration.

Ooooh yeah. Thanks!
