I assume that you are using Ubuntu since you are using sudo. I have Ubuntu installed on several computers and my fash and usb all work fine, however, from time to time one won't load for some reason.
Sometimes when this happens I mount the device in another OS and then connect it back in Ubuntu and the mount problem goes away. I suspect it may have something to do with how it was handled, perhaps not waiting long enough for it stop before removing it. However if no usb devices work then your problem is more serious and you have probably done something that you should not have in playing with the settings or installing something that you shouldn't have. Ubuntu is made to have usb devices mount out of the box without adding or changing anything. Recent versions may require you to provide a password if the device is formatted in ext3 or 4 and you don't have permission to use the device, but that is the only barrier.
