Have you tried mounting the device?

mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt

Have you also tried mounting using the device /dev/sda. Give 
either of those a shot, it apparently sees the device since 
your log says "new device added" so on and so forth. Also, try 
plugging the usb device in and then:

cat /etc/fstab

Does it reveal that a mountpoint was created for the device 
and an entry in fstab thusly written?
