Maybe it wasn't mounted.  Maybe it wasn't mounted where you thought it
was.  You can find out by simply doing a

  df

That's as in "disk free", or you could use

  mount

but "df" is quicker and easier to read.  Remember that you can umount
it by device name (e.g. /dev/sda1) as well as by mount point.

Also, with the more recent releases, the mount point is more likely to
be /media/, where "" is likely to be "usb",
particularly if it is automounted.
