Nice to see you finally sorted the CD-R problem.

   I still need to fix an entry in fstab to mount a FAT32
 usb stick on a mount point called /flash. Since there are several
 possibilities of usb devices that will be plugged in and have a FAT32
 file system, I will need to screen for that in the ruleset, not the
 device manufacturer as that would only match maybe one device at the
 most.

Why don't let the automounter (or udev rules in the event you don't have 
any DE installed)) automatically puts the unknown USB devices under /
media or inside your own defined /flash mount point?

Static mount points (those defined in /etc/fstab) can be good for 
devices you know beforehand but not for those you know nothing about 
(unknown UUID, unknown LABEL...) because you cannot identify them.

Greetings,

There's also a package called usbmount, which will automount 
whatever mountable device you plug in via USB.
