If one is using udev (and based upon your syslog, you are), then you need to create a udev rule that creates all the possible device nodes when the reader is plugged in, so they will be available when the card is plugged in.
See article 126 [0] in debian-administration.org for detailed instructions on how to set this up. Also read the comments, as the first commenter seems to have exactly your situation. And if you're interested, article 127 [1] has instructions on how to use automount to automatically mount the partitions when you try to access them. I found both to be helpful and easy to follow.
