[debian-knoppix] Accessing memory stick



I'm a newbie to Linux and Knoppix, ~7 weeks. I have Knoppix 3.3 
installed to the HDD. (I had to write my own lilo.conf to get it to
boot though.)

I can't figure out how to access the memory stick.

From dmesg:

  Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
  usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
  scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
    Vendor: Sony      Model: Storage Media     Rev: PROL
    Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
  Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
  SCSI device sda: 256000 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB)
  sda: Write Protect is off
   sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4

Windows finds the stick, and it is formatted in vfat and it does contain data. 
I made a directory, /mnt/mem and I added this line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/mem vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0

I can save to either /mnt/mem or /mnt/sda1 but what happens is that it saves 
to the HDD, and nothing ever appears on the memory stick, and I can't read 
what is actually on the stick.

What am I doing wrong?
