Sadly, I have to confirm your complaint, it's turning into real show-stopper 
for using Ubuntu (or Linux in general).

At present, I am able to mount and use it like this ( your mileage may
vary):

isc-...@niesen:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
isc-...@niesen:~$ uname -a
Linux niesen 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
isc-...@niesen:~$


After connecting the usb stick, I look for a string such as sr1 (in my case) in 
the output of dmesg
and you use this information to mount and subsequently run 
./Start_M-IDentity_Linux. 


$ dmesg
