In case the FS is indeed valid (I know you said it works somewhere else, but does it still work now? maybe something happened to it), it could be that you don't have the needed relevant USB module loaded (uhci-hcd, ehci-hcd or ohci-hcd) - lspci(8) could help you with which one from them to choose. It could still be the issue I am talking about (the fact that I know a warning doesn't say it'll always appear - personally I use a gentoo kernel, not debian, so my kernel is pretty custom...). If there's a way for you to check the .config of the kernel you have running (like zcat /proc/config.gz if your kernel supports it), you can grep there for CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_862=y (862 = Hebrew). I would check this anyways, just to be sure. :) Besides the above two, I have no further ideas, sorry.
