Yes, with pmount 0.9.14-1, I see this problem.

psychosis:~$ zgrep CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set
The "bus" attribute is never filled in the sysfs_device structure, as
indicated by the debug logs posted by Benoît -- note the "bus )" in
the find_bus_ancestry errors. So pmount never realizes that the device is
a USB disk.
The problem seems to be in libsysfs2. The call "sysfs_get_device_bus(dev)"
in "sysfs_open_device_path()" fails, and so the bus never gets filled.
This seems like it may be related to this changelog entry in libsysfs2
11/28/2005 - Kay Sievers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Remove stale brute force code to determine device's
bus and device's driver
There was a similar entry in libsysfs1
05/31/2005 - Ananth Mavinakayanahalli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Simplify sysfs_get_device_bus() now that we
have the "bus" symlink under the device dirs
With "CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED not set", the "bus" symlink does not exist!
So these changes appear bad.
Here is one of the offending commits:
