I was hoping someone else would jump in here by now, but the only
thing I can guess is that the kernel driver for the USB bridge has a
bug as I would expect the dmesg (or /var/log/messages) to read
differently if it was unsupported. Do you have another computer
windows or linux you can try it on? For windows you obviously would
not be able to mount the filesystem but it should show all the
partitions in Disk Management.
