Hi Tom,
with the usb reader, I'd have a terminal window open and type 
'tail -f /var/log/messages' then plug it in and see how it was recognized, if at all.
There is also a 'lsusb' and 'usbview' to help.
I've never heard of anyone needing to have media in the drive.
The usb hub should be recognized by itself.
