Richard;
  That may be my issue - the stick is formatted for Windows.  So, I
guess my decision to use usbfs was to blame.
  I've gone through another series of reboots/remount attempts and have
now found several "Unknown symbol: scsi_xxx" messages in dmesg
associated with usb_storage.  So, it would appear there is an issue with
this particular USB stick.
