I haven't done that sort of thing myself, but the parts of the system
you want to research will be "udev" and/or "hal".  In particular, custom
rules.

You'd be aiming to set some of your own default rules that make the use
of USB storage devices fail (your rules getting in the way of what
normally handles USB storage devices).
