I don't know if this helps, but for my USB drive, the solution to Bug #151025 worked.

HERE'S THE FIX:
--------------------

Go into gconf-editor and navigate to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options, and then remove the "usefree" option from the list. Exit gconf-editor, and try hotplugging your drive again. It works :-)

So I did APPLICATIONS --> SYSTEM TOOLS --> CONFIGURATION EDITOR --> opened SYSTEM --> STORAGE --> DEFAULT OPTIONS --> right-clicked on MOUNT OPTIONS --> EDIT KEY --> removed USEFREE option from the list.
