It looks like the latest sd card driver wasn't pushed out to production. 
  I'll look into getting that done.  In the mean time, if you are 
experiencing this problem it appears to be fixed in the newest driver, 
which is here:
ftp://ftp.embeddedARM.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-modules/sdcard.o

Please let me know if you have any problems with the new version.
