It looks from the messages that it is being properly detected, but 
HAL is not mounting it. While it does not explain the problem, you 
may be able to get it to mount if you give it a label. For the FAT 
file system used on most memory sticks, it is easy to do in Windows, 
but it is a bit complicated to do in Linux.
