when u insert a usb mass storage device, it comes up as the next available scsi
disk, 

ie, if i plug in my creative muvo, it comes up as /dev/sda, if i then unplug it
and plug in my fujifilm finepix2200 that then comes up as /dev/sdb

i simply have 2 extra /dev/sd* entries in my fstab to deal with this, and mount
them under /mnt/usb1 and /mnt/usb2 

good luck
