I've read befor that not all cards work on softcams, this would mean that most softcams are written in function of a number of (mostly European) cards.
I think it has to do with the card-server portion of the softcam. A few years ago, the standard "cardserver" which came with the newcamd softcam was unable to read SKY NDS cards. Until someone released a "patched" version of this cardserver which could read those NDS cards.
Now I'm not a specialist in these matters, but it could be an answer to your question why your dreambox is unable to read your card.
Do as mhku suggested : put the card in, chip facing down, select CCcam as default emu (no cardserver, is integrated in CCcam), reboot to be sure, then query CCcam about it's cards.
if it's listed, it should work. If not, then you can always use your Irdeto CAM inserted into the dreambox (7000S). Of course, this way you won't be able to share that card with your other 500's......
