Ah, the key point.  I missed it before, obviously.

The simplest way to find out what's going on is to rebuild the kernel 
with CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG enabled.  Then the dmesg log for when you 
plug in the device will answer a lot of questions.  (BTW, it helps if 
you disable HAL while running the test.)

It sounds like the Cowon firmware doesn't report card sizes correctly.

That's what there should be: one for input and one for output.

The verbose debugging log will indicate what went wrong with the first
LUN.
