I experience the same problem with my Sandisk USB stick. The "no valid vendor"  
message is suspect, as with lsusb -v I can see it knows very well what the  
vendor id+name are.

Interestingly, I have a USB connected tape drive that also claims to be of  
mass storage class and it works fine.

Go figure. Willem Riede.
