I have also been trying to look for scanner solutions. No dice so far.
Will look at this thread with interest ;-)

You have to mount the drive.
Typically create a directory where this is to be mounted say
/mnt/usbdrive and then since these are recognised as scsi device:
# mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbdrive

If this is regularly needed then making this part of fstab may be better
option. Search the archives as some have reported that in one session
mounting multiple times does not work although on manually mounting
unmounting I have had no such problem.
