Well that is perfectly fine as far as it goes -- it is recognized as a
Mass Storage Class Driver device and SCSI partitions are allocated.

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

for example should mount it at /mnt

If the issue is it doesn't trigger the mounting GUI stuff, I guess that
is down to the hal or udev stuff that I don't really understand much
about at the moment.
