You did remind me of a little problem possibly related. If I copy TO a USB flash drive or MP3 player the operation goes fine (Gnome drag and drop), if I delete from Gnome the item no longer shows up on the device BUT the space is not freed. The way I get around it is a root terminal to remove items on the USB device. My guess on where to look: man hald, man automount. Good hunting, I will be most interested in what you find.
