I've been googling and hacking at this for about three hours now. 

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

locutus mnt # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules
# This is for my Intelligent Stick USB Memory flash drive
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="20031112223132-01", NAME="istick", MODE="0666"

locutus linux # cat /etc/fstab
# Intelligent Stick flash drive (UDEV)
/dev/istick  /mnt/istick  vfat defaults,noauto,user,umask=000  0 0

locutus linux # ll /dev/istick
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 21, 1 Jun  9 00:32 /dev/istick

locutus linux # mount /dev/istick
mount: /dev/istick is not a block device

But after a long night, I tried this and was shocked to see it works:

locutus linux # ll /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jun  9 00:32 /dev/sda1

locutus linux # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/istick/
locutus linux # ls /mnt/istick/
MIDI Files  pwsafe.key

So, why doesn't my /dev/istick work? 
I assume it has to do with that 'b' on /dev/sda1 and the 'c' on /dev/istick
