does anyone use a clie here?

i was able to successfully hotsync and install programs on my clie using
pilot-link and jpilot.

Now, my clie has a msimport (no not microsoft, "memory stick") feature.
just connect the clie (thru usb) to a computer, run the msimport app,
and the memory stick becomes accessible as a mass storage device.

this works flawlessly in windows 2000 and above (a driver is needed for
win98)

as for linux, i know it recognizes it (thru the usb-storage module of
the kernel), here is the dump from the /var/log/messages

<--snip!-->
xxx kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 6
xxx kernel: usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x58) is not claimed by any active 
driver.

xxx kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.
<--snip!-->

the usb-storage module emulates the device as a SCSI drive, the contents of 
/proc/scsi/scsi is

<--snip!-->
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Sony     Model: CLIE N700C       Rev: 1.00

<--snip!-->

/sbin/lsusb  also reports that it recognizes the device (output too long to include 
here)


so as with the docs and the manuals say, i should to a

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/clie

however, after displaying the following in /var/log/messages,

<--snip!-->
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
<--snip!-->

it hangs (no output). a `ps aux` displays :

<--snip!-->
root      1756  0.0  0.1  3164  496 pts/6    S    15:08   0:00 mount -t vfat /dev/sda 
/mnt/clie
root      1757  0.0  0.3  1868  940 pts/6    D    15:08   0:00 /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- 
block-major-8
<--snip!-->


so modprobe is waiting for a device. (i patienly waited about 10mins).
wala pa rin.


:(

any insights?
