OK, so you're basically saying it is formatted under windows and works when connected to a USB sdcard adapter.

It doesn't work with the built-in card reader of the Dell Latitude E6500.

I think the card reader should be on the usb bus.  So, what does it show as in lsusb?

I still would try formatting it with the rpmfusion utils and see if that changes anything.  If that doesn't make a difference I'd file an rpmfusion bugzilla.
