There's a nice passage in the kernel source documentation about that (in
Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt):
**NOTE**: If /proc/bus/usb appears empty, and a host controller
driver has been linked, then you need to mount the
filesystem. Issue the command (as root):
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
An alternative and more permanent method would be to add
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
to /etc/fstab. This will mount usbfs at each reboot.
You can then issue `cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` to extract
USB device information, and user mode drivers can use usbfs
to interact with USB devices.

What does it say in /var/log/dmesg when it comes to USB?
You should perhaps consider writing a mail to Maxtor support if you
haven't done so already.
