Thanks for the report.  I'm hoping that gniibe (cc'ed) can shed more
light on this by asking you for clearer debugging info.  He's our
strongest expert on this stuff.

It looks from your debugging output like you're intermixing scdaemon
with pcsclite or possibly pcscd.  It's possible that two daemons are in
contention for the device.  Can you tell whether that might be the case
on your system?
