Er - what version of MDK are you using? Also worth considering - some of 
these drives only support FAT file systems - its to do with some hardware 
flash controllers - may not be related though...

Sorry, Lee, tried both of those (with various options) but no joy.
/dev/sda doesn't exist either, although HardDrake reckons it does:

Vendor: ?Generic
Bus: ?SCSI
Location on the bus: ?0:0:0
Channel: ?00
Description: ?Generic|USB Mass Storage Device
New devfs device: ?/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
Old device file: ?/dev/sda
Module: ?unknown
Floppy format: ?Generic USB Flash Disk
Media class: ?hd

Is that line 'Module: unknown' a cause for concern, by any chance ?
