It appears that dpkg randomly decides not to place the init file if it got removed earlier (it did this once out of 5 times on my device) thus I adjusted the steps for if you're on 3.1 and the problem still persists:
Code:
dpkg --purge --force-all ke-recv apt-get install ke-recv dsmetool -b

Hello,
This does not work, still no access to your file manager and memories of the N900 and SD card.
thank you

For people, that are still having problems, despite following merlin's latest instructions - executing following commands will fix it for sure (execute everything as root):
Last command will reboot the device. Also, be extremely careful, while invoking commands - preferably, copy and paste them. Especially, watch what You're deleting with 'rm -r -f' near end.
/Estel
// Edit
This doesn't answer, why we're having problems, yet, it allows to get rid of them for 100%. Of course, one need to execute it only once. I hope that we won't be affected by this on further updates that touch /etc/init.d/ke-recv, yet, in such case, similar fixing method would also work (of course, /var/cache/apt/archives/ke-recv_3.19-15_armel.deb would need to be adjusted, matching name of further ke-recv versions).

Code:
dpkg --purge --force-all ke-recv rm -f /etc/init.d/ke-recv apt-get install ke-recv mkdir /home/ke-recv-temp dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/ke-recv_3.19-15_armel.deb /home/ke-recv-temp/ mv /home/ke-recv-temp/etc/init.d/ke-recv /etc/init.d/ rm -r -f /home/ke-recv-temp dsmetool -b

on a sidenote: make sure your mountpoint dirs are *empty* when nothing is mounted on them!
E.G. storing photos to MyDocs while MyDocs isn't mounted will create files in the mountpoint dir and those files "vanish" on mounting sth to the dir, and eat up your storage in a "magical" way.
(above advise also applies during mass storage exported MyDocs: don't store anything to MyDocs on device while actually the MyDocs got exported to USB mass storage and thus unmounted)
You see in above example how " this-will-vanish-but-eat-your-stoage-nevertheless" is hidden from all access after mounting sth to mmc1. Of course the paranoid contemporary may decide to deliberately exploit that effect ;-). Us usual mortals don't want to waste storage for ghost files.
ps.: your mount will fail if *any* filehandle to the mountpoint dir or its content is still open. I.E. if I'd do a "cd mmc1" in above example, the mounting of uSD to /media/mmc1 would fail on closing the lid. That's one of the reasons you need to reboot after fixing the ke-recv issue

a general note: "execute as root" usually means you do
NOT
If you wonder what's the difference, do
in both, and you'll probably understand.
("root" alias should come with package rootsh, if not then here's what it does:
exec sudo gainroot --use-su )

I got my SD card working by formatting the ext2 partition to ext3, otherwise the format was unsupported.
