If gpg-agent is installed (which is a requirement for gpg2), the card
operations are done by scdaemon.  To debug it you should add these lines
to ~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf

debug-ccid-driver
debug 1024
verbose
log-file /whereeveryouwantit

Then kill scdaemon and make sure that no instances are running.
gpg-agent will start one on demand.

Not that --use-agent is a dummy option in gpg2.  gpg should better use
--use-agent because otherwise you would get a conflict if scdaemon is
running at the same time.


Salam-Shalom,
