Don't bother using mount. Just plug it in and, after a few moments, hotplug
No, it's not hotplug, it's a HAL mount helper.
should have picked it up and created the mount point for it. Just looking into the directory is enough for it to be mounted.
One annoying feature that I have noticed with both SUSE 9.3 and 10.0[0], is that a device mounted this way doesn't show it's free capacity with "df" and I have to either guess just how much free space is left, or temporarily mount the file-system as root to find out.
IMO this should also work if you temporarily access the device or a directory/file on the device as normal user. I think this is a problem of submount/subfs and this should be present longer than 9.3 ago.
