I've used the following to handle the various usb memory sticks I have,
I put it in /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage, I then have a couple of
entries in /etc/auto.misc to mount the devices on demand (with a 5
second timeout)  It's crude but it works.

HTH,

Simon.



#!/bin/sh

# hotplug script to handle usb-storage

if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ]
then
	sleep 5
	
	rmmod sd_mod 
	rmmod usb-storage 
	rmmod scsi_mod
	
	sleep 5

	modprobe usb-storage 
	modprobe sd_mod 
	modprobe scsi_mod

fi

if [ "$ACTION" = "remove" ]
then
	rmmod sd_mod 
	rmmod usb-storage 
	rmmod scsi_mod
fi
