No, it isn't a kudzu problem. It's a problem of RTFM :) (now, WTFTMI I don't know, since I found out by testing a simple theory). You probably copied the entry from floppy or cdrom, I'd guess. They provide an option named kudzu (isn't that a huge hint?). Since the memory stick is probably not available on boot, kudzu doesn't detect it, so it removes the entry from fstab. Solution: remove the kudzu option. No bug, just maybe a FM problem.
