Can I assume that the drive was plugged in when the usbconfig command was
issued? I don't see any indication of it in the output. I was expecting a
vendor/product that was not known to the system, but that does nto appear
to be the case. the only two not identified have and the first in an Intel
vendor ID and the second appears to be an Asix Ethernet controller, though
the information on that is sketchy.

When you plug in the drive, the console should show a message. A similar
message should be sent when it is unplugged. Can you try that and report
the message? It should include the vendor and product IDs.
