I have the PNY SmartMedia reader (not the compact flash) and under 8.1, I had to use msdos or umsdos (I can't remember which) instead of vfat, so you might try one of them. Also, although I don't think this is the problem, you might try a shorter directory name under mnt. Something 8 characters or less. Finally, and I know this is a stupid questions, so I ask for forgiveness up front, you do have the compact flash in the reader and it has been formatted by the camera, right?
