If you're just going by the message that pops up when you insert it.. it's because Maemo by default tries to mount it as fat.

That's why most people suggest 2 partitions on an SD card.. a small 100MB first partition thats fat.. just to shut maemo up.. and the rest EXT2/3.

If you insert the ext3 card, open a terminal, and mount it by hand:

mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/MySD
for example (note, mmcblk1p1 is a guess, I have no idea what the N900 removable card device is), it should work.
