I take it from lack of further response to this thread that I'll need to
use the traditional method for mounting those USB drives.  There should be
some way to at least partially automate this though.  I've found that cat
/proc/scsi/scsi shows what scsi devices are detected, which seems like at
least one step toward doing something like that.  Anyway, if anyone has
further input on less involved ways of detecting and mounting
non-permanent USB disks that are seen by the OS as scsi devices, please
pitch in.  Related comments would be welcomed as well.
