OK no answer but luckily someone else answered a similar question <http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/ thread/45ee1e08b545f059> - for future reference, yes, it's simply that the sd card is not browsable while it's mounted on usb. "Unmount the card, tell Android (via the Notification) to stop making the card available, wait for the card to be remounted *within Android*, then" carry on.
