I am just jumping in in the middle here, so I don't know whether this is relevant or not. Do you have a /dev/sdb1 ? Have you tried mounting that instead of /dev/sdb? I've heard of some thumbdrives not doing partitions, but all the ones I own needs to be mounted via /dev/sd?[0-9] HTH, W -- Here lies Lester Moore Four slugs from a .44 No Les No more.
