possibly dumb question, possibly unintentionally insulting your
intelligence...
you know that when he said "run # scsi-rescan" that meant 'type in
"scsi-rescan" as the root user', right?  and not '#scsi-rescan'?  
#anything will always appear to do nothing as the shell thinks you're
typing in a comment.    I only ask because I've never seen anyone
respond with "I ran #command".
