Is it the same as 

	mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/floppy

???

What does the output of 

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

look like?  In particular, does the device show a driver (usb-storage)?

You can see if the kernel saw the device from the dmesg command as well.

After you mount the drive, what does df show?
