Probably because the library/driver named pcmcia is not on (or not the
write version) the system you are testing with. Not sure what other
reasons there are...

That is because GLUE wants to check protocol numbers for the smcard,
but can't find it in the protocol file (forget the name of that file,
but it's located in the include\ldf directory). Add the keyword
"exempt smcard" in your .gp file to tell glue not to check protocol
numbers.
