For this sort of thing, I would recommend using mtools (available in a
port).  Mounting the disk shouldn't be necessary for copying one file
to removable storage.

Definitely consider logging to a remote machine, though.  It will be
considerably more secure.  (There's no reason you can't do both, and
get the advantages of each.)
