good ..

you are using udev devices vs generic old fashion /dev/sda ... 

before you post to the mailig list ... how about you search
for that error message above and see how others have solved it
as some of us would have to do that same thing too  to answer
your question while others might have it stored in their 
photographic memory from having to deal with it for weeks before

sounds right ... its not seen due to timeout

do you have scsi suport in the kernel

homework time ... 

yahoo: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0:usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
	- than read about udev too
	- than check your kernel for scsi support
