I hang my head in shame. With remote control enabled it all works fine except of course my personal preferences in JOSM which are not an the USB stick.
So that's using PortableApps with portable Firefox, Jportable java and jportable launcher. The josm-tested.jar was launched from the USB stick. The USB stick is showing 613 Mb used but that includes a few other small files so even quite small USB sticks should work.
