Actually, I just tried this with my smart media reader. I don't have supermount or auto enabled for the device (ie I have to manually mount/umount it). I put in a card and issue a mount /mnt/smedia and
as expected the card mounts. I then umount it and put in a different
card and reissue the mount command and it mounts that card, too. I
forget all the details of the original post, but what happens if you
replace auto with noauto in the /etc/fstab for the device and manually
mount/umount?

I hate fstab. All those optional fields. Isn't there a gui for it?
Anyway, I had this:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
Not knowing which auto you meant, I amended the first:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] richard]$ mount /mnt/removable/ mount: fs type noauto not supported by kernel
Hmmm, you must have meant the second.
Actually, I'm much encouraged by the fact that you can swap cards willy-nilly. It means the problem is with my setup, and not with Linux. Perhaps a reinstall or some newer hardware will help -- this is a Celeron 300, on some random cheap motherboard.

/dev/sda1 /mnt/reader vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
but like you it will not unmount in GUI I get umount: /mnt/reader: device is busy
and , umount /mnt/reader umount: /mnt/reader: device is busy
on the CL ,
so I have to reboot each time I change a card.
If you remove the entry above from fstab you will not have a device at all unless you specifically make one on the command line like this,
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
and then mount it
/dev/sda1 /mnt/reader
At any rate that is my experience, don't claim to be an expert. This is with M9.1
