Allen,
    Have you umounted the drives before you pull them?  That could cause
the problem.  Also, can you mount both simultaneously using a USB hub?
            -Mike


 Yes -- and to both Allen and Jim,

Please inspect, and also post what the device-relevant lines say of
 /etc/fstab
     (how devices *will be* mounted by default)
and
 /etc/mtab
    (how the stuff *is* actually mounted when plugging/unplugging)

You can (and should) tweak /etc/fstab , but leave /etc/mtab alone.

 - Horst

It appears that everyone saw my posting except me.  I
never got a copy.  Sigh.

I *always* umount my flash drive before removal.  The
problem I reported is not related to that.
