I can confirm this problem with Hardy.

When I insert a USB thumb drive (I have tried several, so it isn't the
one specific drive) I'm given a dialog of: "Cannot Mount Volume: Invald
mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'ThumbDrive'"

The thumb drive has worked with Ubuntu since Breezy, at least.
Installation is (was) a fresh Gutsy install from CD at Gutsy's release
and upgraded to Hardy at Hardy's release through update-manger.

the dmesg output related to this is:

I'm assuming the entry "sda: unknown partition table" is the trouble
spot here.  The drive was originally FAT16, and was reformatted into
FAT32 using Windows.  Same entry.  It appears in Nautilus with its name,
just not mounted.  I can manually mountunmount the drive using "sudo
mount" and "sudo umount".

Also, an external USB hard drive (ntfs) is auto-mounted and useable, as well as 
the internal XP drive (ntfs).
I'd rather not use the above fix (sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd) if it means slower 
use for all usb-mounted drives, as a slow external hard drive is a killer when 
backing up large amounts of data.
