Maybe your pen isn't /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda?
This inconsistency across drives is a real pain. In linux in general my pendrive is always /dev/sda4. I guess this implies an odd partition table. I'm still unsure how to reliably predict the partition number on any pendrive except by trial and error. One way is to do:
cfdisk /dev/sda
and see what partitions it reports.
Yes, on a workstation that is fine. Unfortunately there are few such tools available on a thin client (by design). But since I can mount /dev/sda1 on /tmp/mnt it seems reasonable to assume the device is correct
