Why not install /usr/ports/emulators/mtools/ and configure "O:" drive 
("O" for Olympus) as /dev/da2s1 ?

Then one does not have to be root to insert or remove the card. Just 
access the card with mdir, mcopy, mdel, mcd, etc ... Yank the card out 
any time you are not using it and insert another just as one does with 
tar and tapes.

I'm thinking your issue is probably within mount_msdos. Mtools 
implement the DOS filesystem internally. Each M-command issued starts 
at the start of media, finds the directory and volume data, then goes 
to the appropriate file(s), completely from scratch each time. So there 
is no "mount". It does tend to remember current directory.
