Hi Randy, Yep, this is still broke. I took your suggestion and submitted a detailed FEEDBACK to SuSE (btw they now have a cool web page for feedback == http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi ) .
The nub of the prob seems to be that a /dev/sdx entry is never created. doing a fdisk -l NEVER shows an entry for the USB device Thanks for the interest, I'll post updates as they occur.
