Are you sure that's the right approach? As I understand it, a hotplug event occurs when the card reader is attached to the computer, _not_ when a card is inserted into the reader. In fact, I don't think the card reader informs the computer at all when a card is inserted. The only way to find out when that happens may be to poll for it continually.
