I give up.
It has something to do with the vfs implementation. But where it goes
wrong excactly i really can't tell. But what i said earlier
if line.lower().find('mass storage') != -1:
should be
if line.lower().find('storage') != -1:
in misc.py still stands. Device shows up in menu but doesn't get
mounted. Pretty useless plugin then without the mounting part ;-)
Of course the USB HOTPLUG cmd can be used for mounting but i know
from personal experience that it mounted and umounted the usb device
whithout prob in freevo < 1.4
