Mick,
Oh sorry i totally misread your post .. you already got it working, heh.
With older version it wasn't needed to use USB_HOTPLUG= and mount the
device with a custom command, it already did it automatically. And i am
fairly sure dischi didn't intended to mount a device semi manually
with the USB_HOTPLUG option.
And not sure what happens if one uses multiple usb storage devices
without the use of the USB_ID.
But i could be wrong of course, again. ;-)
