There have been some memory stick support enhancements and fixes in
recent kernels, so you might want to retest on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring
Ringtail", which is based on the 3.8 kernel.  Also just committed to the
upstream 3.11 kernel is the following commit which will probably be
included in 3.11-rc2:

memstick: add support for legacy memorysticks

Based partially on MS standard spec quotes from Alex Dubov.

As any code that works with user data this driver isn't recommended to
use to write cards that contain valuable data.

It tries its best though to avoid data corruption and possible damage to
the card.

Tested on MS DUO 64 MB card on Ricoh R592 card reader.

Also, from reading through the code, "This driver works with old (bulky)
MemoryStick and MemoryStick Duo but not PRO."
