I just got it working this weekend. Seeing /dev/usb in not enough.
First as has been said, you need the usb-storage module.
I also had to turn on USB support in my BIOS.

Should this work? Here is how I did it.
The usb-storage module emulates a SCSI channel, so it
needs SCSI support compiled in too. Then it creates a psuedo
SCSI conection. Cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see which one.
Mount the appropriate SCSI dev file. The tricky part is that you
have to look at all of the SCSI devices and figure out which ones
will get the sd devices and which yours will be. I had something
like this (I faked the camera line as its not there right now):
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: HP35470A Rev: 1009
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 600S Rev: V1.6
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-W54E Rev: 1.1B
Type: CD-ROM
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: <something> Rev: 1.0
Type: USB-Storage
Since the Camera is the first disk like device, it got sda. To mount
the first partition, I used:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
