What does an "ls -l /dev/card_sm1" show?
What do you have in your udev rules that creates that node?
What do you have in your fstab, or what was your mount command if you didn't
have anything setup in fstab?
Also, what does the partition table on your card look like?  That is, are
you sure the data resides on the first primary partition?
