I want to make it clear that the information above came from  the bugzilla
report that Alexandre Ganso published (#113787) and Jason Cortezzo came up
with.

Also, I have a another question regarding usb-storage.  By what means is
Gnome/KDE mounting the JumpDrive when it is mounted manually (with an
ordinary fstab entry, right click desktop-->disks-->JumpDrive) without the
use of the above?  It clearly is mounting as the current user vs. root as
when attempting the above procedure.  If a script controls the process in
the GUI, perhaps it can be adapted to the usb-storage script to work around
the root issue?

Also, the copy process from modules.usbmap to usb.usermap should not be
necessary even though it is needed to get the usb-storage script to execute
in its entirety.  The scripts in /etc/hotplug should, I believe, read the
information right out of modules.usermap.  Perhaps a bug lies therein?
Actually, without the entries in usb.usermap, the script *is* still being
executed (as evidenced by the file in /var/run/usb); it is just not mounting
the device for reasons beyond me at this point.
