I do remember that without using hotplug there here several modules I needed to load in order to use USB MSD, but I can't for the life of me remember exactly what they where, there was a scsi module and the usbstorage module, as a minimum...
USB storage devices emulate SCSI disks so you'd need the hardware driver for your USB port, the usbstorage modules and the SCSI drivers. Looking at my system the drivers it seems to have loaded to use an MP3 player that also appears as USB storage are:
ehci_hcd usb_storage sg sr_mod scsi_transport_spi sd_mod fat vfat nls_cp437 nls_iso8859_1
I now have hotplug enabled but from what I remember before that you don't need to load all these by hand, just modprobe the hcd driver for your USB card and the usb_storage driver and it auto-loads the necessary SCSI stuff. The DOS/Windows filesystem drivers (fat, vfat etc.) are also required and these get loaded automatically when you attempt to mount the device.
