For the record, upgrading from kernel 2.6.5-7.155.29-default to 2.6.12.2
solved the problem.
This was perhaps thanks to a patch by Chris Clayton, in the kernel from
2.6.12-rc3, which addresses a problem with 'error -110' timeouts.
Thanks Alan for the pointers - I appreciate your help.

Try turning on USB Mass Storage verbose debugging in the kernel
configuration (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG) and rebuilding the usb-storage
driver. Then post the dmesg output showing what happens when you plug in
one of your devices.
