But the phone, when in activesync or unplugged, won't recognize the storage card. I really don't want to do a hard reset, or have this happen again. Can anyone give me any insight to what is going on, or any help? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

You're sure encryption has nothing to do with it?
This is a well known and documented but little understood problem. The general consensus is that if you unplug or plug in a USB cable while anything is accessing the SD card, this problem can happen. Alot of times, if you check the card , you will find it has a single file with a .menc extension. This means that the phone has encrypted all the info on the phone (
edit...I meant on the SD card) and it will not be viewable by any other device, and the only way out is a long an painful data restoration process that will allow you to recover most of the data off the card in chunks. Its really quite a pain in the ***...its happened to me once and to my roomate once. Since then, I make it a point not to plug in or unplug a USB cable unless I am POSITIVE that the card is not being accessed by the phone.
So....if you are listening to music on the SD card via the phone, and dont exit the music program before unpluggin the USB cable (or in your case, stop playing the music on your stereo, turn off the stereo, then disconnect the USB cable) then this could randomly happen to you at any time.
The encryption may be a part of your problem...otherwise, you might want to check your card itself...maybe test it with another card?
