Having no experience with USB keydrives under Linux, I can
only guess here, but:

Have you tried mounting the drive? I assume you could
just do something like

mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /mount/keydrive

or somesuch. (/mount/keydrive has to exist already, of
course.) You may need to substitute 'mount -t ext3' for
'mount', but it depends on the filesystem type on the
keydrive.

As for /etc/fstab: have you tried putting the line

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /mount/keydrive ext3 defaults

in there?
