I believe I have seen a message like this when something else
is talking to the card already.  For instance, I run 
my cards in a Mythtv system, and in mythtv there is a setting 
to only attach to the card when actually using the card.  If that
setting is set incorrectly, mythtv will attach to the card 
at startup, and keep exclusive use of the card, not allowing
anyone else to access the card at all.
