Yes, that's it presumably : # NOTE: USB_STORAGE enables SCSI, and 'SCSI disk support' # may also be needed; see USB_STORAGE Help for more information # CONFIG_USB_STORAGE is not set So I'll need to compile a new kernel, ie 2.6.20 -> 2.6.22 , & enable USB storage.

You don't need because USB Mass Storage feature is supported by kernel 2.6.20. SO YOU DON'T NEED DO INSTALL AND COMPILE KERNEL 2.6.20 BUT YOU NEED TO ENABLE USB MASS STORAGE FEATURE IN YOUR INSTALLED KERNEL.
