Yougander, might be that /tmp is in use by some other process, create a freshly mount point for your drive, ( mkdir /mnt/flash ) tail -f /var/log/messages. insert usb stick, look for any info on the usb stick ( on what device the usb stick is to be found) mount this device in your newly created directory if no changes in /var/log/messages appear when your stick is inserted, your USB is probably not working properly.
