Have you altered the auto mounting functioning of 9.3? If it is listed with fdisk -l, you could manually mount it (to /mnt for temporary use. If you want to make it easier and better for the long run, add a line to fstab, create a drive icon on your desktop, then you can easily mount and unmount. HTH.
No I did not, but finally the root of all evil manifested itself. Much as I hate to admit it I run Windows XP in a virtual (Parallels) machine in a virtual desktop far far away to play bridge on the internet. (Yes, I know that in that case I should not play bridge on the internet, but there it is) :-) That Windows XP in its sandbox grabbed the flash drive as soon as it was put in there. So it showed up in the Windows environment and I did not see it, because I was not playing bridge, but trying to get the flashdrive to work. :-) Apparently this wreaks havoc with the linux scsi driver, because it did not show up as scsi unit in fdisk -l. But as soon as I put Windows to rest everything worked fine, the stick automounted and worked perfectly.
