It did. With usb-storage inserted everything works. It pulls
in the vfat, fat, and sd_mod modules. In addition I get all
the right information in /proc/bus/usb/devices,
/proc/scsi/scsi and /proc/scsi/usb-storage/3. And mount
shows a scsi disk of type vfat mounted in /media/. I can
hotplug the dvr and get an icon on the desktop. I can play
the mp3 files through my speakers and manipulate them
with a file manager.
HAL and udev seem quite different from the old static files
in /dev - automagic in philosophy, so I never did figure
out how they might be misconfigured. Instead I simply
added usb-storage to /etc/modules and now everything works
at boot.
Thanks very much to everyone for their patience and help.
It's greatly appreciated by this happy camper.
