USB/mount drive detection issue (using AIR 2)

Question

I'm creating a drive mount listener in Flash Builder.  For the most part, it works well.  Lately, I have had a problem actually getting the event of a drive being mounted.
    var s:StorageVolumeInfo=StorageVolumeInfo.storageVolumeInfo;
     s.addEventListener(StorageVolumeChangeEvent.STORAGE_VOLUME_MOUNT,USBM ounted);
Then the handling method:
    private function USBMounted(e:StorageVolumeChangeEvent):void
        Alert.show("Drive Unmounted");
        printDirectory(e.rootDirectory);
My two questions:
- Has anyone ever used this method to read all drives being mounted (CD, SD card, etc)?
- Is there any way to get this to work using a USB hub?
Thanks

> You can write on "usb" because the right are : drwxrwxrwx
They appear only when I use 'sudo mount -o rw,noauto,async,user,umask=1000' instead of plain 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2'.
I use vfat for that USB stick, so maybe that's why it works for me. The first two listings in your first post show the drives in different order, but of course the mountpoints show that the offending drive is ext2 not vfat, my bad.
Edit: This is how my ext3 USB stick behaves like:
[karol@black test]$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
[karol@black test]$ mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usb type ext3 (rw)
[karol@black test]$ ls -l /mnt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 karol users 4096 07-03 01:08 usb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-09-14 usb2
This time /mnt/usb is an ext3. As you can see, there's no root, I (karol) an the owner, so I can rw to my heart's content. Maybe you should change the ownership - 'chown' (man chown if you're not familiar w/ that command).
