If I remember correctly, SD/MMC cards run on an SPI connection. The IFI RC is using SPI on the user processor for something else.
This could be fixed by using an auxiliary PIC (although I would prefer an AVR.. woo GCC!), connecting the card via SPI, and using a serial connection between the aux board and the IFI controller. Also, I suppose if you wanted to get really fancy, you could emulate SPI by bit banging through the available i/o.
