My N900 doesn't seem to be recognising MicroSD cards properly. The card does not appear in the file manager or in any application save/open dialogues.

In X Terminal I can see a directory called /media/mmc1 - am I right in thinking that this is the Micro SD card? I experimented by cp-ing a random file from the phone to this directory and it seemed to work just fine.

Any advice is appreciated!
/media/mmc1 is a directory that is used as a mount point.
When your phone recognises that an SD card has been plugged in, it sets everything up so that you can access the card using /media/mmc1.
Since your phone isn't recognising that you're plugging in a card, /media/mmc1 is just another directory, so copying to it will work (provided you have the right permissions).

As they've said above, chkdisk / fsck your memory card and try again - you'll probably need to do this outside of the n900.
If that fails, reformat the card.
