I found that if I unplugged the card reader from the USB hub and then 
re-plugged it _with the card inserted_,that it would be recognized.  
Mine, a Camera-Mate card reader, shows four different removeable drives. 
I try each drive until I find my pictures.  This dodge may work with 
your set-up.  BTW, this works for me as user.
