I just tried this with CentOS 5.3 as well, and got exactly the same symptoms and dmesg output. (As a point of comparison, Ubunu 8.04 on my work laptop is able to access the drive.)
Obviously "not detected" is a misapprehension, though I'm puzzled why "lsusb" doesn't show it. The device is there even though the partition table can't be read.

Hmm.

Could be a problem with the USB port on the CentOS computer, or if you are using a cable on with that computer, the cable.

Same cable everywhere. Four different computers (two desktops, two laptops; three custom-built, one an HP; and the HP is the one running CentOS 5.3). Fails on CentOS 4.7 desktop and CentOS 5.3 laptop. Works on Windows XPsp3 desktop and Ubuntu 8.04 laptop. Maxtor OneTouch works on the CentOS 5.3 laptop (in fact, that laptop has its root filesystem on the Maxtor USB).
So it sure looks like some specific incompatibility of this I/O Magic drive enclosure with the EL4/EL5 USB drivers.

---- FWIW, I have an el cheapo USB card reader that won't work on WinXP (2 computers) but works fine on Linux including the same computer via dual-boot.
I also had problems with a USB hard disk drive on one computer until I updated the BIOS. Always make sure that computers that exhibit these problems, you would want to update BIOS on them.
Basically, USB sucks as a technology and it can be entirely inconsistent.
