I have a iomega 250 zip drive.
These are lines from my messages file:
	added mount point /media/floppy for /dev/fd0
***	added mount point /media/zip for /dev/hdd4
	added mount point /media/cdrecorder for /dev/hdc
	added mount point /media/cdrom for /dev/hdb

Note that it (udev) adds the hdd4, which is the way IOMEGA apparently wanted it

With a zip disk in the drive, I use the command:
'mount /dev/hdd /media/zip' to access my zip drive
This says to me that your zip disk was not partitioned. Check it using fdisk, I bet there is no partition, just the filesystem. That is fine with me, but if it had 1 partition numbered 4, I think that hotplug would automount it the same way that my usb flash memory is added, though I have yet to make that work!

If I use a similar command to what you used:
'mount /dev/hdd4 /media/zip' it doesn't work and I get the same error
message.

Certainly if there is no partition 4 on your zip drive hdd4, mount can't mount it.

I can make no recommendations ATM, but there should be some way to fix this!  I'll keep hacking away at udev and hotplug, but so far no luck with either.
