Mounting devices in Linux can be tricky.
Use the terminal and type: dmesg
This will give you a starting point. It will display the last several lines of the system log and there you can see if it saw your drives. They will have names like /dev/sdd1 or /dev/sdc
You could also try typing in the terminal: tail -f /var/log/messages
this will monitor the message log in realtime. then plug in the reader and see what messages you get.

From there you can start troubleshooting by searching those messages on google.
The sony reader on Linux is simply a usb storage sevice or 2 if you hav a SD card installed.

Here is what I see on a successful mount of the reader:
