Have you been able to try it on -current or any of the 3.0 candidates?  
Given how much has been changed in the USB code since 1.6.2, I wouldn't 
be at all surprised at a different outcome if you were to do so.  (Hmm 
-- it appears that INSTALL kernels have the right code.  Try booting a 
3.0 INSTALL cd, exit to the shell, insert the drive, and see what happens.)
