That's a device file (an entry to the disc driver if you will)
To acces the drive filesystem you need to mount it, e.g.:

mount /dev/sdcard1/disc0/disc /mnt/sdcard

the card contents will be accesible in the sdcard directory (you need
to make a new directory with mkdir). If the card is not formatted you
may use some of the mkfs commands (e.g. mkfs.ext3).

Right, dd is used to write raw disk images to the disc, while tar is a
packager.


Good luck,
