The major information needed is what file system is the Cruzer formatted
in. Is it ntfs? fat, vfat or ext3?
Also, what does the output of fdisk -l recognize the card as?
There was a query by someone at Redhat that wanted information that
would help him narrow down the problem. You might want to file a bug in
bugzilla against mount, kudzu, the kernel to get some help to resolve
the problem with the card.
From what I read on the list, it seems the card recognizes itself as
two different devices. (sda and sdb).
good luck on getting the problem resolved.

It's lucky you're going so slowly, because you're going in the wrong direction.
