Output sample, please :-)
Also, what Debian version are you using?

In any case, it should be mounted under "/media" using the label, so if
it fails there has to be a reason for it (e.g., naming collisions?).
Attach the USB disk an run "dmesg | tail -20" and "dmesg | grep -i usb",
then put here both outputs.
