Jens -

Yes - I checked every time and there is no pcsc process running at all.
gpg-agent runs ok and it starts scdaemon when I try gpg2 --card-status so my
difficulty lies with reading the card.

(the card and reader are good because I can access them with the card-status
command in Windows7 using gpg4win)

Thankyou for the link to your blog.  I'll get back into it a bit later when I've
more time.
