I have three usb sticks of differrent sizes and makes and only my generic 4gb stick.

So it may just be an uncompatible stick, any chance you can borrow another one to try that out to make sure its not your vega.

Which directory are you looking for the USB device in? It should be in /mnt/usb/system_usb/

I just modacoed mine, and have the same problem, cant see usb sticks, any of them (i have 5)

doesent show up in file manager. oddly 2 of them have lights and they are not lighting up - would look like they arent being powered up maybe? EDIT now lighting up since changing usb setting, but still not reading.

I'm a bit new to all this, perhaps Im missing something too?

Help would be appreciated if anyone can

all working now after 3 reboots lol

I'd like to know how long it takes to actually get into to USB Host mode, mines just in a continual loop saying "Switching to USB Mode your device will reboot Shortly". How longs shortly? :(

a few seconds on mine - sounds like yours has failed to get superuser rights? I had to reflash mine to 1.08 then put pauls r8 on to get round that but someone else on here may be able to give you an easier way round it?
