Just guessing here - but :

Have a look in /proc/dev and see if any files or directories have been 
created which may relate to the USB device being detected by your system.

Maybe that would provide a clue as to "what to mount"

Also have a look in /dev to get a clue as to what may be mountable.

And don't forget to create a directory in /mnt so that you can access the 
device as part of your filesystem.

Like I said just guessing here.
