Those messages just mean that the driver is loaded. If you don't have an entry
in /proc/scsi/scsi or /proc/bus/usb/devices (as another poster pointed out),
then the devices is not recognised.
There is some more information on getting it working available at :
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x498.html (SGML source also available :)

Almost certainly a problem with the device not being recognised, but remotely
possible that the device partition table doesn't start at 1. For example, zip
drives use /dev/sda4. fdisk -l /dev/sda will show you the partition table, if
any.
Can you look down further in the logs, and try to find where the device is
attached? Or post the entry from /proc/bus/usb/devices?
Also, note that USB mass storage isn't supported under 2.2 kernels. There were
changes to the SCSI layer in the 2.4 series kernels that are pretty important
for error handling and the like, and these aren't present in 2.2
