Maybe my experience will help...
As root, check "lsmod" for the modules: usb-storage, and usbcore.
As root, use "cdrecord -scanbus" to scan the whole scsi chain.
Example:
<snip>
scsibus2:
        2,0,0 200) 'SanDisk ' 'Cruzer Mini ' '0.1 ' Removable Disk
        2,1,0 201) *
        2,2,0 202) *
        2,3,0 203) *
        2,4,0 204) *
        2,5,0 205) *
        2,6,0 206) *
        2,7,0 207) *

As root, use "tail /var/log/messages" to get the partition number, if it
is reading it.

I setup fstab for all useful scsi devices

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/scsi2 vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/scsi4 vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/scsi3 vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0

When I plug something in, I run the cdrecord command and mount the
appropriate scsi number. Typically, scsi devices need the partition
number to mount.
