usbdevfs is the raw USB device filesystem. It allows you to see devices
under /proc/bus/usb if they are detected by your kernel.
what does lsusb tell you?
have you tried 'modprobe usb-storage' as root, and then check 'dmesg'
(then try lsusb again)
incidentally, just saying "it doesn't work" without giving error
messages makes it harder to help you.

exactly what did you put in your /etc/fstab file?
what command did you use to mount the device?
