Did you use the Android pull-down menu and tap "USB Connected\nSelect to
copy files to/from your computer"?  Without doing that the storage is
still owned by Android.  If you select that you get to unount the
storage from the android phone and make it available to the
usb-connected computer for mounting.  The file system isn't dual-ported.
Only one device can mount it at once.
