This is telling you the directory /media/USB does not exist. Create it
and make sure your user account has access:
sudo mkdir -p /media/USB
chown :users /media/USB
OR, because you are doing a manual mount, mount it under your home
directory somewhere. I personally have a "working_folder" directory
that is intended for transient things. In here, I have created a "mnt"
directory for when I need to mount devices. Because these directories
were created by me using my regular user account, I already have
permissions to these directories. So, I use a mount command something
like this:
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /home/sgrover/working_folder/mnt
- of course, change the /dev/sdc1 to match your own device
- the partition type (vfat) is usually fine with defaults - mount will
work out what it needs to do, most times.
- because this is mounting into a directory that I already have
permission to, and it is a vfat partition, the umask isn't really needed.
It's been a while since I've needed to do this manually - KDE4's
automount tool is generally pretty good and takes care of the details
for me. So I just plug in the USB stick/device and use it. Gnome has a
similar feature. Of course if you are doing something a little
abnormal, the manual mount is probably the best choice....
HTH.
