There is not enough info here for anyone to answer your question.  
Please try to answer the following questions fully, and someone will 
probably be able to help you.

Which version of which distro are you using?  Is udev running?  Is this 
card reader one with multiple slots?  If so, does "zgrep 
MULTI_LUN /proc/config.gz" return "CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y"?  It needs 
to.  USB card readers with multiple slots generally appear as 1 SCSI 
device with multiple LUNs.  If the aforementioned config option isn't 
Y, only 1 slot on multi-slot readers (often the CF slot) will be 
usable.  What does dmesg report about the card reader and the cards in 
it?  Are all necessary modules loaded?  (uhci_hcd or ohci_hcd depending 
on chipset, ehci_hcd , usb_storage, scsi_mod, sd_mod.)  What is the 
exact mount command you're trying to run?  Most memory cards are 
partitioned, but some aren't.  Check the partition layout with fdisk -l 
and make sure you aren't trying to "mount /dev/sda" when you should be 
doing "mount /dev/sda1" or vice versa.  HTH,
