When I plug the disk, this wakes it up and I see in /var/log/messages: kernel: usb 2-4.2: USB disconnect, address 11 kernel: usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13 kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1ca1, idProduct=18a9 kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 kernel: usb 2-2: Product: Usb Sata Bridge kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SYMWAVE kernel: usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 3559443452593133 kernel: usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice kernel: scsi11 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices but it's not getting mounted.
Up to where did you cut the output...? Did you get the SCSI device at all? if not, is hald running and polling /dev/sd* (ps auxfw | grep hald)?

Maybe try to restart the usb_storage module...
