I have a usb smartcard reader for my camera and had the same problem.
The problem is that this is actually an easy one and almost not worth
its own How-To.
in an xterm, as root, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages'
Plug your card into the device and plug it into the usb port.
wait about 10-20 seconds
look at /mnt directory and see if there is a new entry there (mine shows
/mnt/camera)
look at what the /var/log/messages shows when you plug your device in
(the xterm with the tail in it)
in the messages file there should be something akin to
Aug 21 00:07:49 camerabox kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at
scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Aug 21 00:07:49 camerabox kernel: SCSI device sda: 128000 512-byte hdwr
sectors (66 MB)
Aug 21 00:07:49 camerabox kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Aug 21 00:07:49 camerabox kernel: sda: sda1
That's from mine. Then it's a matter of 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera'
and then ls -lR /mnt/camera and it'll show you where all the data is.

Here's how I did mine:
First, see that it is dected by looking at
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Here's the output I get:
$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: IDE Model: DVD-ROM 16X Rev: 2.0
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: LITE-ON Model: LTR-12101B Rev: LS38
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: OEI-USB Model: SmartMedia Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Notice SmartMedia listed after the CDROMs? That's my card reader.
Yours will show a simular listing, it may not say SmartMedai but you'll
recognize it.
Create a directory to mount it in, something like:
/mnt/memstick (and give proper permission)
Add the device to /etc/fstab something like this:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick auto noauto,user 0 0
That's about it.
You'll mount your flash media at:
/mnt/memstick/
I put an icon on the desktop for it and you might wanna do the same.
