Still having problems with this, after saying that it worked...
I've entered the info as you both suggested in to /etc/modprobe.preload
and /etc/hotplug/usb-distmap. It worked for a couple of insertions then
stopped.
I posted a query on the NZLUG list and have been speaking with the
'Product Development Engineer' from the company that I purchased the
device from. I post here the info sent to him that he asked for:

This morning I've tried commenting out the 'usb-storage' line from /etc/
modules.preload and running modprobe usb-storage but it is not now
working.
The afore said engineer states in one of his more recent mails
"This is a strange sort of problem, it appears that two parts of the
system are out of sync there."
Then he asked for the last two bits of info (/proc...)
Anyone with any ideas they'd like to share.
TIA
