USB Storage devices



I just picked up a usb enclosure for my old 2.5" IDE drives.  Trying
to get it working under Linux.  It appears to be recognized in 
/var/log/messages:

Mar  2 15:59:00 localhost kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-1, 
assigned address 3
Mar  2 15:59:00 localhost kernel: Product: USB TO IDE
Mar  2 15:59:00 localhost /sbin/hotplug: arguments (usb) env 
(DEVFS=/proc/bus/usb OLDPWD=/ PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin 
ACTION=add PWD=/etc/hotplug SHLVL=1 HOME=/ DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/002/003 
INTERFACE=8/6/80 PRODUCT=5e3/702/2 TYPE=0/0/0 DEBUG=kernel _=/bin/env)
Mar  2 15:59:00 localhost /sbin/hotplug: invoke /etc/hotplug/usb.agent ()
Mar  2 15:59:03 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for 
USB product 5e3/702/2
Mar  2 15:59:03 localhost devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted


But dmesg tells a different story;

usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 18 ret -110
host/uhci.c: uhci_result_control() failed with status 440000
[dfdc70f0] link (1fdc7062) element (1fdc41e0)

EndPt=0 Dev=2, PID=e1(OUT) (buf=00000000)
 
What's the "right" way to determine if my device is recognized properly?
For the record, I have a ZIO card reader that works just fine - plug it
in, mount it as /dev/sda1, everybody happy.  It is not currently plugged
in when I'm doing this.  So I would expetc my hard drive (which I 
know is linux partitioned, btw) to reside at /dev/sdaX as well.  But 
no go.
