I don't want to say wrong things, but that's what I think:

Cameras, especially the ones from Canon speak a specific protocol which 
transfers files from the camera to your computer. Because of this you can't 
simply mount the card in your camera. It's rather necessary to use a card 
reader for this purpose, like you do, or to use gphoto which understands the 
camera specific protocol.
