Hm, it seems you have a very different problem than other people, the
symtoms are so much different. Can you please open a new bug against
libatasmart and provide the output of

  sudo strace -vv -s 1024 -o /tmp/trace skdump /dev/sdb

after a clean plug in of the drive?

You have to do that after unplugging/replugging the drive, to undo the
effect of the first command's eject.

Can other people who experience this bug please do these commands as
well on current Karmic?

Thanks, Martin
