I've never used DSL-N, and that seems like a really old kernel..
You shouldn't use usbfs in fstab, it makes it list usb devices.

Did you try dmesg? It lists the info kernel gives to you.
Plug in the stick, and then type
dmesg | tail -n20

It should read something like
New usb device
Using MAX LUN 1 out of 1
....
uba1/sda1

And it will list your device. You also had a typo between exec and 0, it should be a space:
/dev/uba1 /mnt/usbhd usbfs noauto,users,exec,0 0 could be
/dev/uba1 /mnt/usbhd auto noauto,users 0 0

Okay... I will take a look at both of the ideas posted here. They look like slight variations on things I've already tried. But, sometimes, things really can come down the the exact syntax...

Thanks.

Syntax always matters, and so does filesystem type. The version of DSL-N you're running also matters, considering every available version of DSL-N you might running is a pre-1.0 release candidate and one of the RCs (3) has a known USB-2 issue that was fixed in RC4.

Sorry to sound like a moron here, but I'm not really sure what version I'm running. I downloaded the ISO like 6 months ago. The Kernel version is 2.6.12 (if that helps).

If you go to the DSL control panel and click on the "stats" button, you'll see the DSL-N version at the top of the first tab.

I have to manually mount USB sticks in DSL-N but at least that works in rc4

According to the report in the Stats tab, the version I'm running is:
DSL-N v0.1

Oh, lordy, that must be an oldie...

As far as mounting manually, I have no problem with that.

See, the story is like this... When running off a CD, I was able to use the mountTool. But it only mounted in USB 1. This made reading and writing unearably slow. So, wrote a little script to mount it from Bash. Doing it that way meant that I always had to write as sudo, but it ran USB 2.0. So, that seemed like a fair trade to me...

Anyway... If there is a patch for my version, or a reliable upgrade, I'm all for it. I mean... This is the ONLY thing that I cannot get working. The entire rest of the system is 100%!!

EDIT: btw: the dmesg | tail command returned the following:
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

I dunno... That doesn't tell me nuthin
