I had a similar problem with a 6-in-1 reader I picked up last week.
I needed to load sd_mod with the argument max_luns=6

unplug your reader
rmmod sd_mod (and any module that may be using it)
modprobe sd_mod max_luns=4
reinsert your reader
try mounting it.

output of dmesg would also be useful. (it'll still be useful if the
above series of commands works for you, as we can then add it to the
blacklist and make it do this automatically).
