If rmformat shows the device, it's already mounted.  I just plugged
a USB stick into one of the USB ports on my system.  Here's what it
showed:

    <mills at qtpie:2357>$ rmformat -l

USB devices are automatically mounted under /media .  You can access
them there.

To unmount them, I use the right-click menu of the icon on the
desktop.  There are other ways.
