Thanks for the fix report! =:^)
SD/MMC cards, I was thinking standard USB thumb-drives. I looked back at
your initial post and followups (to this one) and didn't see anything
about a sd/mmc card reader, only usb device, and the auto mounting in the
title, thus indicating a filesystem, but nothing indicating you meant
cards, and I was thinking thumbdrives and portable disks[1]. If you'd
mentioned that it was a card reader, perhaps someone could have set you
on the right path a bit sooner.

[1] FWIW, I recently found a 1TB/931TiB USB external disk on sale at
Fry's Electronics for $80! That's lower than pricewatch.com's listings!
I jumped on it and grabbed one, and now have a nice external backup that
allowed me to reorganize my quad-spindle 300GB/279GiB per-spindle SATA
based md/RAID, a job I just finished a couple days ago. So I have
portable USB disks on the brain, ATM. =:^)
