No luck. Here is a (somewhat edited) log:
# put thumb in
# /mnt/usb exists
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb/
ls: cannot access /dev/sdb/: Not a directory
[root@mbrc15 ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb
mount: No medium found
[root@mbrc15 ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb0 /mnt/usb
mount: special device /dev/sdb0 does not exist
[root@mbrc15 ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb/0 /mnt/usb
mount: special device /dev/sdb/0 does not exist
(a path prefix is not a directory)
[root@mbrc15 ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb
# pull out thumb
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb
ls: cannot access /dev/sdb: No such file or directory
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb*
ls: cannot access /dev/sdb*: No such file or directory
# put thumb back and wait a few seconds
[root@mbrc15 ~]# ls /dev/sdb*
/dev/sdb

Thanks again for your help.
Mike.
