Thanks for this post ... this would surely be handy for all folk struggling with pen drives. Just a little query. I was under the impression that the detection of device by kernel was the only pre-requisite, and dmesg output should be the sole requirement before mounting to a mount point. What is the cdrecord -scanbus for ? The kernel needs to detect for -scanbus option to work.
