updfstab.conf and Sandisk Cruzer Mini USB flash RAM

The /etc/updfstab.conf.default file shipped with Fedora does not
include the product id for the Sandisk Cruzer Mini USB flash
rams. These things show up in /proc/bus/usb/devices as

S:  Product=Cruzer Mini

I have tried to add either 'match hd Cruzer' or 'match hd "Cruzer
Mini"' to the flash device section in /etc/updfstab.conf.default, but
neither work. I tried on both FC1 and FC2 test 2. Updfstab will not
put /mnt/flash in fstab with these settings, although the device is
clearly present in /proc and the name matches. Another USB flash RAM
that shows up as 'Product=Flash Disk' works just fine with the 'match
hd Flash' that is included in the default file. The Sandisk device can
be mounted and it works, so the kernel has apparently no problem with
it, but updfstab just fails.

I'm mystified. Why does updfstab hate the Sandisk unit?
