You received this bug notification because
After lfaraone said it worked for him, I tried a few couple of different

Lexar 1GByte - worked, mounted first partition of 2 (sdb1 = VFAT) and displayed
the contents of /media/LEXAR/syslinux (yes this is a Fedora bootable USB of
Couple of points
1). I am an idiot. The Sandisk is only 512MByte version, so it unlikely
to be an issue with large disks.
2). If I insert a 'working' USB key with sugar-emulator running it is
sometimes mounted UID=1000 (my user ID) and sometimes mounted UID=500.
There seems to be a race
UID 500/1000 issue spun off as seperate bug
