I currently have a 16 gig usb thumb drive plugged in here without
issue, so it must be something else.
What error messages do you get if you try to mount it from the command line?

N.B. One thing that's common:
NTFS formatted drives that aren't unmounted cleanly will refuse to
mount unless forced or mounted/removed from a windows machine

cheers,
Owen.
