The log shows quite clearly the reader saying, over and over, that no medium (i.e., no card) is present. So either the reader is broken or else it's not being used in the correct way, although I can't see anything wrong. You said before that the same hardware worked okay with an earlier version of the operating system. Is it possible for you to get the same kind of usb-storage debugging information from that earlier version? The difference between it and 2.6.11 ought to show where the problem occurs.
