I was finally able to get the drive to mount successfully. To do so,
I need to run the following command twice:

% sudo scsi -f /dev/rsd0c -c "1b 00 00 00 01 00"

The first time around it gives:

umass0: BBB bulk-out stall clear failed, TIMEOUT
sd0(umass0:1:0): unknown error category (0x8) from host adapter code

but the second time it successfully mounts and is usable. If I unmount
it and then unplug the USB cable, the system freezes hard, though.

There's probably a better solution, but as a workaround, this is at
least ok.
