After performing this command it seems that the problem is that it is
not showing up.

The output of the cdrecord -scanbus is:

However on a different linux machine when I perform the same command
it does show up.

Now I am wondering why the FlashDrive will show up on the one machine,
but not on the other.  The machine that it shows up on is a RedHat 7.2
machine while the machine that it does not show up on is a Fedora Core
1 machine.  I would think that if it worked under 7.2 it should
probably work under Fedora.
