Do you have selinux in enforcing mode?  Are you seeing avc errors
related to hal being generated in /var/log/messages when plugging in
that external reader or when inserting media into that external
reader?  There was a recent issue identified with selinux targetted
policy that was keeping hal from operating correctly.
