well, it says "device scan complete" but just in another place that i told you... I'm sorry about that. In your case th device is atached as "/dev/sda" and the partition is "/dev/sda1". To mount it try the command: mount /dev/sda1 /media/stick but get sure that /media/stick exists before you execute that command. The device should be mounted then. Don't forget to do a umuount /media/stick and wait until this command is done before you unplug the device.
