You have to mount the device, like a disc drive.  

Assuming you don't have anyother scsi disc drives mount it it is probably
sda1.  This can be checked in /var/log/messages after you plug it in.

You will see something like this in messages file:
kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

The next step is to mount the device:
I did the following
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-key (don't forget to create the
directory)

The only problem I have so far is allowing other users write access to the
device.  I have changed writes and ownership.  I still can only get root
to be able to write to the device.
