Have you used your usb drive in previous versions of Ubuntu? Try inserting your USB drive then reboot your computer. It should have it mounted already. To avoid this hassle- upgrade udev (which I think you have already done). Unfortunately, pulseaudio would leak memory once in a while so you need to update pulseadio either from proposed or it might already be in the main updates. Good luck!

What I did is this: I copy de lines for my usb-sticks in /etc/mtab from the 10.04 (you can take the mtab of 9.04 or 8.04) and past it in de mtab of 9.10 (with root offcourse) and it works. So, maybe this helps somebody with this problem. It's not the right way, but it works (so far). Hallo,

They do that for LTS and as far as I know 9.10 is not. Care to tell us where you got the information about 9.10.1? But I would agree with you that 9.10 needs a lot of updates to fix some things. 9.10 introduced numerous innovations so it would not be a surprise if some things are broken along the way. Maybe 9.10 was rushed a little? They released 9.10 on the 29th before the month ended. JamesL,
