That's not surprising, because usb-storage doesn't know anything about 
what's happening on the mass-storage device it connects to.  All it does 
is send the commands that it gets from the SCSI subsystem to the device 
and receive the results back.  It has no idea whether there is a mounted 
filesystem on the device, if the filesystem contains any files, or 
whether a scanning operation is running,

A better place to look for fixing this might be the filesystem code.  
That's where the information about mounting, files, and scanning can be 
found.
