Apparently when I copied the above output of ls /dev, I was copying from 
a previous query on an open console. I subsequently discovered that the 
tail -f procedure had indeed created a sdb1 on the fly, and that mount 
/media/diskonkey (sda1) and mount /media/imation (sdb1) succeed, either 
sequentially or simultaneously.

My apologies for the oversight, and sincere thanks for your help, HS.

Happy New Year to all!    --HU
