trouble getting GnuPG 2.0.9 working with smartcard

[Malte Gell]

Hi there,

with hope of finding more response I place my question now here.

I have a Reiner SCT Cyberjack Secoder card reader and with the driver from 
Reiner SCT's web site it works now, the diagnosis tool "cyberjack" says the 
reader is available and accessable.

In ~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf i specified the PCSC driver, it contains the 
following:

debug-level advanced
pcsc-driver /usr/lib/readers/ifd-cyberjack.bundle/Contents/Linux/ifd-
cyberjack.so.2.3.0

But, when inserting a blank smartcard i only get the following:

1[root at linux-61r3]4339-06:06~> gpg --card-status
can't connect to `/root/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': Connection refused

scdaemon[28645]: handler for fd -1 terminated
scdaemon[28645]: scdaemon (GnuPG) 2.0.9 stopped


In my naive thoughts I hoped to be able to "format" a blank card to put my key 
on it. Is this now a driver / GnuPG vs card reader issue or is it not possible 
to just use any blank smart card (it is a 8 kB smartcard from Atmel it seems)
