psmith

does the usb stick(s) have spaces in the volume name?

By this I mean, when you look at the mount name in computer, are there
spaces in the name for the device that appears?

If so, try this:

1. edit /etc/mtools.conf to create a drive for the device.  For example,
when I plug a USB key into my laptop it appears as /dev/sdb1, so in
mtools.conf I have a line:

drive f: file="/dev/sdb1"

2. at a terminal prompt run:

$ mlabel <drive letter>:<new_label>

eg. I ran: mlabel f:4GB_USB

Make sure there are no spaces in the 'new_label' name.

Then try again.
