Thanks Vern for the help.  I have commented out that line in my fstab already.

Also my own research seems to suggest that it may not be my reader that is the 
problem; it may instead be the card.  I am using a Fujifilm XD Card which may 
not be supported by linux as of yet.  I am however not to shure about this as 
most of the comments I see about XD cards are over a year old.  If there is 
any one out there that can confirm this for me I would appreciate it.  Either 
way I have to wait until payday to get a "real" SD card to see if i can get 
that to work.

thanks again guys
