Earlier you posted:

If the key is partitioned, just before the "Attached ..." line, you
should see a listing of the partitions.  For example:

usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor: I-Stick2  Model: IntelligentStick  Rev: 2.00
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

 sda: sda1 sda2
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
usb-storage: device scan complete

So if it really is partitioned, we'll have to figure out why the
kernel is not seeing your partition table.  I would be interested to
see the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' with the stick inserted.

Looks ok to me.
