Now that you figured that out.   I set my /etc/fstab up much easier 
knowing that perhaps one day it will change and break.   I just have the 
line

/dev/sdb1       /mnt/usb1          vfat      noauto,user,rw   0    0

Keep in mind that when you add or remove a SCSI device in the future it 
will break.   Now there are several pages on udev and how to set it up 
with hotplug.  You can basically setup the system to auto mount the 
device based on Manufactor and/or serial number it looks like.   I have 
not played with it enough though.
