Also, you can try a fdisk on the device, in case it doesn't use the first slice (I've yet to see this on USB devices, but ZIP drives used to use slice 4 for their "DOS" partition). If you still can't get it to work, drop me a line, and I can try to provide some other pointers.

You should be able to set something up in /etc/usbd.conf for attach. Detach may be a bit tricker, as you should unmount the filesystem before pulling the stick. -Brian
