PCSC, as you guessed. Interesting that this should cause issues. I've never had a problem moving RSA keys with pcsc.

I can also report that I was able to move both an S and E key to the card last night, but not an authentication subkey. I am also able to generate an authentication subkey on the card. For my uses, this is sufficient - I want to be able to recover the encryption key should the card be lost or damaged - authentication keys can just be regenerated. 

Unfortunately I'm not sure if this would work if I tried again.

I'll have a more detailed look in the next few weeks when I have time to poke at scdaemon logs, change configs etc.
