-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 USB keys work for me these days. I just tried some keys that I don't have mount points for (the ones that I do have mount points for I use their UUIDs) and they worked as expected. What version of Ubuntu, which ~ GUI environment, and what kernel version are you using?
Did you perhaps rename the key? For example, a key I am looking at right now is mounted as /media/Patriot which is what the partition was named when I pulled it out of the box. I am guessing the udev scripts make use of this name when creating a mount point. The mount option -o umask=000 is what has corrected this for me in the past (usually with NTFS drives using ntfs-3g and its predecessors).
