Hi Boardy, I have my doubts that you will get it working in a portable way across different mobiles. The usb implementation will be to different. The newer phones will provide additional and complex usb mode ( multiple cdc+acm+ adb + ?, mtp , pictbridge ), some will change the usbmode on the fly ( load a driver from a automounted cdrom image on the phone and switch after installation in a complex usb mode ) .. and for this the different manufacturers will adapt the kernel to framework communication and add components to the framework.
In principle the new froyo vold listens for a sysfs file "/sys/ devices/virtual/switch/usb_mass_storage/state" . If their is the state "online" , then the VolumeManager will send a BroadCast-Message which is IMHO propagated via the ServiceManager to the rest of the framework and the MountService. The MountService will send a Notification which you could catch . Good luck !
