The "sudo gpg2" might indicate that root has a running gpg-agent and
thus scdaemon.  Scdaemon requests exclusive access to the card (but see
--timeout) and thus you can't access the card from the user.

The usual debug hints are:

  log-file socket://home/USER/.gnupg/S.log
  verbose
  debug 1024
  debug 2048
  debug-ccid-driver

to scdaemon.conf and 

  log-file socket://home/USER/.gnupg/S.log
  verbose
  debug 1024

to gpg-agent.conf.  Then start in another xterm

  watchgnupg --force /home/USER/.gnupg/S.log | tee mycombinedlog

Run 

  gpg2 --card-status

and watch what happens.  You may send me the log output.  You may also
try to stop pcscd and add write access to the reader's USB device.


Salam-Shalom,
