What kind of reader are you using?

> luisbg at atlas ~ $ gpg-agent --server gpg-connect-agent

Now that is a strange command.  The "gpg-connect-agent" argument is
simply ignored.  What you do is sto start a new gpg-agent in --server
mode, that is without it listening on a socket but connected to the tty.

You should first start gpg-agent after checking that no other one is
running.  For testing I do it this way

  $ gpg-agent --daemon sh

This creates a new shell and if you terminate this shell (exit) the
gpg-agent will terminate as well after a few seconds.  Then use

  $ gpg-connect-agent
  SCD SERIALNO
  BYE

or 

  $ gpg-connect-agent 'SCD SERIALNO' /bye

or to get all info from the card

  $ gpg-connect-agent 'scd learn --force' /bye


My guess at your problem is that there is another gpg-agent running
which has the scdaemon open.  The one you started under root?

To debug this you should put these lines into scdaemon.conf

log-file /foo/bar/scd.log
debug 2049
debug-ccid-driver
verbose


Salam-Shalom,
