Doesn't really work:

# ./usbreset /proc/bus/usb/001/002
Resetting USB device /proc/bus/usb/001/002
Reset successful
# ./plscsi -x '12 0 0 0 24 0' -i 36 /dev/sg0
// sgioOpen.open: No such file or directory
// plscsi.sclOpenNext: "/dev/sg0" not opened
// -x0001 = -1 = plscsi.main exit int
# ./plscsi -x '12 0 0 0 24 0' -i 36 /dev/sg1
// sgioOpen.open: No such file or directory
// plscsi.sclOpenNext: "/dev/sg1" not opened
// -x0001 = -1 = plscsi.main exit int
# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/stick
mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only

The longer sequences fail in the same way. Apparently I'm missing something - 
could I be resetting the wrong device? The (hopefully) relevant section 
of /proc/bus/usb/devices is

Well, I could live with the commands in a script - I have to mount the device, 
so I've got to run something anyway before accessing it - the problem is I 
can't write into it...
