I have looked up what I type to control my USB card reader, here are the 
commands i use:

  camcontrol devlist    -- shows you what devices are attached
  camcontrol eject      -- type this if you want to detach your device
                                     or if you want to stop the cf card and
                                     put a new one in
  camcontrol start      -- after inserting a new cf card, do this to
                                     make it mountable

Make sure you umount your device before you do the camcontro eject or you 
might loose some data.

Regards,
Jacob
