That's easy enough to explain. When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB is set, the list of SubClasses and Protocols recognized by usb-storage is modified to omit devices using SCSI encapsulation and Bulk-Only transport. Hence usb-storage no longer is associated with your hard disk -- regardless of whether the ub module is loaded or not. I was confused by the fact that your DVD drive _did_ work. Looking more closely, I see that it uses 8070i-ATAPI encapsulation rather than SCSI encapsulation. That explains why it worked when the hard disk didn't.
