I had very similar symptoms -- the mmc wouldn't mount when inserted, but
sometimes would from terminal -- In the end it did turn out to be a
hardware problem (sort of). Before sending the device to Nokia, try
swiping the MMC contacts vigorously with a clean cloth.

Someone at #maemo also suggested using contact spray, but the swiping
did it for me.
