You are correct. The last line of output after plugging in the drive
reads
Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
but earlier in the output is a line
sdb:<7>usb-storage: queuecommand called
sdb1
I assumed /dev/sg0 as this works to attach my digital camera and
download images. After reading your comment I tried /dev/sdb1 and was
able to mount the drive and read the file it contained.
