usb drive errors with automount

["Jason Dunsmore" <jasondunsmore@gmail.com>]

I just started having trouble automounting my usb drive.  When I plug
it in, the kernel recognizes it:


usb 5-8.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 5-8.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

but then, when I try to access it, I see the following messages in dmesg:

This just started happening.  I've been using automount successfully
for several months on Debian testing.  I'm using kernel 2.6.16.13.

Here's what's in /etc/auto.removable


key_drv                -fstype=vfat,rw,async,uid=1000,gid=1000 :/dev/key_drv1


I've tried unloading the ehci_hcd module, since I'd had similar
troubles with it in the past, but no luck.  Any ideas?
