Hey, thanks for the info, it was great.  Here is how I was able to get a
Lexar JumpDrive to work
with the help of the above bugzilla document:

Edited /etc/updfstab.conf.default and added the following:

device usbdrv {
	partition 1
	match hd JumpDrive	#Wild guess...it worked!
}

I executed the following commands as root:

#Add the usb-storage device information to the usb.usermap (necessary
step??)
cat /lib/modules/<your kernel>/modules.usbmap | grep usb-storage >>
/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
mkdir /mnt/usbdrv	 #Needed for a mount point
mkdir /var/run/usb #This was missing on my computer, resulting in no auto
umount...

Create /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage (adapted from Bugzilla report 113787)

#!/bin/bash
mount /mnt/usbdrv
echo '!#/bin/bash' > "$REMOVER"
echo 'umount /mnt/usbdrv' >> "$REMOVER"
chmod u+x $REMOVER

Be sure to make usb-storage executable:
chmod ugo+x /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage

That should be it.

A quick question for the Fedora gurus:  Should I report this information
anywhere else?
