It looks like you are using a smart card reader NOT using a USB port. So the access rights on /dev/o2scr0 are not correct and pcscd fails to open the device.
You compibled the OZSCR driver by yourself (it is installed in /usr/local/). Maybe you should report the problem to the driver author so the driver can create the device file /dev/o2scr0 with the correct access rights.

For more information about your problem you can read http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html and http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2010/12/configuring-your-system-for-pcscd-auto.html

Removing the "exit 0" in /etc/init.d/pcscd should solve the problem for you. pcscd will be started at boot as root.

A future version of pcsc-lite in Ubuntu will use systemd and solve all your problems http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2011/11/pcscd-auto-start-using-systemd.html
