    Just out of curiosity, have you tried:

      cdrecord -scanbus

    to see if it is even showing up? My experience is that these devices
    (JumpDrive/FlashDisk/USB memory drive) show up under Linux as SCSI
    devices. The "cdrecord" command will tell you where they are: SCSI bus,
    LUN, and target. My instructions to our users is to use that command to
    locate the device, then map the "cdrecord" output to a SCSI device ID
    (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.)
