hotplug should automatically probe the USB devices. Look at
/var/log/messages and see if hotplug doesn't recognize the drive. If
not, you may need to add it to /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap.
Hummmm, interestingly enough I did not have that file. A simple
"yum install hotplug" seems to have fixed it though.
Thanks for the hint,
