Answer:
I have noticed that every newer version of any linux distribution gets significantly better at handling USB drives, so my first recommendation would be to upgrade to SUSE 10.2 ( http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/... ). I'm in the process of evaluating, for my personal use, a bunch of the most recent releases of different linux distros but have not gotten to SUSE yet, even so based on how other distros have improved in this area I believe it may solve your problem just by upgrading.
For the mount command, depending on what devices are connected to your computer the <*something...*> could be any number of things, luckily Novell (the people who run SUSE linux) have this web page to help you:

To remove a USB drive you only need to unmount it before you unplug it. There is an eject command, but it doesn't do anything more for USB drives than unmounting the drive.
