What is wrong with an udev rule entry? By the way, did the "eject" 
command line tool work as well?

That may be true for a single device but there are around 30+ others 
which are switched outside the kernel, some inside usb-storage, and 
this would add even more places where mode switching happened.

But how would you access the storage part of the device then?
