Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Obviously you know what you're talking about, and it indeed works
great if I simply link my script in as "/etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage".
Just to be safe I'm put in a test to exit if the $PRODUCT not equal to
'4cb/100/100'.

I can see this approach works great now, but I do wonder what happens
when I get an rpm that installs scripts for my MP3 player, Camera, and
external harddrive.  I thought that was the idea behind the
"usb.usermap" file and all the matching options.  The way I had
changed it the device driver would load as well as anything matching
in the usb.usermap file.  It allowed individual and multiple scripts
per device.

Just adding my 2 cents.  Feel free to ignore it, I'm very happy it
works and is a lot easier than I had originally thought.  Keep up the
great work.
