Can't Mount Sansa Clip M350

[Michael "TheZorch" Haney]

Ok, I have a 2GB Sandisk Sansa Clip M350 mp3 player.  It connects to the 
PC via USB.  Its an MTA music player accord to Windows XP and Vista.

When I had Gutsy installed I could mount the player and transfer music 
to it via Amarok.  I had to use the Generic Media Player setting because 
I could never get the MTA Player settings to work right in Amarok for 
syncing files.

In Hardy I have a problem mounting the player.  When I plug it into the 
USB port the dialog box pops up asking what I to do.  When I choose to 
open the device in Dolphin to see what files are on the player it comes 
up and I see the files and folders for only a couple of seconds and then 
they vanish and so does the icon for the player on the desktop.

I've tried just plugging in the player and mounting it without actually 
opening the device in Dolphin.  When I try to mount the player the 
desktop icon simple vanishes and the player is no longer listed in 
Storage Media on the System Menu. 

There is no error message dialog that appears and I've tried to find a 
log that might contain some sort of error message but I can't find one.  
The player simple mounts and unmounts with no error message at all.

The player goes into a special mode when its plugged in and mounted, 
even when this problem occurs the player still thinks it mounted until I 
unplug it from the USB port, then it rebuilds its internal music 
database and goes to the playlist menu.

The player is formated in FAT32, format performed by the player's own 
firmware.
