[plug] usb card reader

[James Budworth]

I've come across a similar thing with my Zaurus and an incompatible card.
the problem seems to be that the file system is getting corrupt and so 
will mount only as read only.

If you do a fsck_msdos on it and then try again it will likely fix it.

But you may want to be careful with it in the future.
