The same thing happened.  I mounted it, looked at the files in nautilus,
closed nautilus, unmounted the device, pulled out the usb cable, changed
cards, plugged the usb cable back in, and the result is:

[gerry@gstpc gerry]$ umount /mnt/smedia

This is where I did the physical changing described above.

[gerry@gstpc gerry]$ mount /mnt/smedia
mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems
[gerry@gstpc gerry]$
