hi,
the rio forge is a flash based mp3. it has an extension slot in which you can add more flash but i haven't. so its just as it came, 512Mb mp3 player.
here is a snippet of the log when i hook it up.

i searched the usb.usermap for the vendorId and ProdID they were nowhere to be found.
i think the reason it sets up the player at /media/FORGE is becasue FORGE is the volume label of the device. so it just thinks is a vfat hard disk w/ a label "FORGE"
also when i have "Show unmounted hard disks" it shows up on the desktop and the behavior is as expected.
hope i clarified somethings.

how to define stuff as hard disks and others are
removeable media
Can you clarify this? I didn't know what a rio forge was so I did a search and it showed they are a line of flash-based mp3 players extensible with standard camera memory sticks in which case they should show up as removeable media. Are you saying it is a hard disk like the i-pod? In any case if it plugs into the USB port I would look to see that it and its id numbers are listed in the etc/hotplug/usb.usermap file.
