Hello, I'm been working on a usb driver for the simulator and as fair as I can tell, USB is not implemented at all on the simulator. Which means that on usb insertion (simulated by 'u'), some things happens, but not really on the one that would happen on a real device. If you want to test, you can look at my patch (FS#10916). Even if you don't have the linux driver, perhaps the usb insertion chain is similar enough to a real device to make your autobookmarking thing work. But there's no warranty.
In a more general way, I don't recommend you to experiment with simulator and usb because rockbox what not designed to have usb under simulator. You should experiment with a real device.
