You'll know which entry it is because it corresponds with the last couple of lines from: dmesg after you plug in the card. So, to summarise... plug in the card/pen, run "dmesg" and look at the most recent entries to find out what the device is called, then run "cat /proc/mounts" to find out where that device has been automounted. Hey presto you know where to save your files. Hope this helps.
