Thanks for the reply and the thought, but unfortunately, my problem is 
not with getting the reader to mount the card. I get it mounted, it 
shows up in a "df -h" with the proper size, everything looks fine. I can 
even get correct directory listings from it. The trouble is when I try 
to actually move data. A second  or two after starting a copy to or from 
the stick the usb-storage subsystem just stops responding, and will stay 
broken until I reboot. Any thoughts on that? My searches in Google have 
been in vain.
