The '-' character is worth keeping. It prevents syslogd from sync-ing the file every time a new line is written, which saves a lot of system activity. Here's something else you can try that might help. Go to the /lib/modules/2.6.12/kernel/drivers/scsi directory and rename sd_mod.ko to something else so that it won't automatically get loaded. Be sure to rmmod sd_mod by hand as well, in case it's already loaded. Then the amount of usb-storage messages will be greatly reduced, so it all should fit into a single dmesg buffer. Don't forget to change the filename back when you're done!
