Check that one of the pins in the CF card chamber isn't bent out of line. It's easy to do - it happened on three or four Canons and some CF card readers we used at my last employer - but can render cards useless, so be careful. All of the instances of bent pins I've seen have resulted in the pin making the corresponding hole on the card much wider so check the card; if any of the hole look odd then it's probably a bent pin.

Just realized one of the pins is stuck in the sd card adapter!
