No problem... Sorry, I forgot that you would have to pass the drive to
VLC so it would know what to do with it... 

I experimented a bit with it myself, but couldn't seem to get the
command to take args from the application launcher. I tried treating it
like a shell script, and it failed miserably... 

Hopefully this issue will be fixed in karmic. Best of luck!
