Reformat the stick as FAT and your problem should go away. Can be done from Windows...right click on the drive the in the My Computer...choose Format...and then select FAT as the file system type from the dropdown.

Plugging in a USB stick however, CLI reports: FAT: Unrecognised mount option "relatime" or missing value I checked the link you included but there's nothing obvious that would give this error.

(I'm making a lot of assumptions about FreePBX that should be correct, for example that it uses udev).

So far I think that Doug' solution looks the most promising, however it needs automating so that inserting the USB stick will automatically "mount" the stick and disconnection will "umount" the stick. (A sort of plug and play if you will) Restore might work also based on this principle. So I'm gonna pick your Linux brains (again) and ask if this can be done?
