Thanks for that idea. I'd originally thought in terms of not being able 
to use the vendor info to identify a usb stick since that can't be 
known in advance for every stick that might ever be inserted but I'd 
overlooked using the info to eliminate the built in card reader.

So now when any umass device is attached devd calls my script which just 
iterate over sysctl dev.umass | grep "%pnpinfo" building up a list of 
devices, adding four if it's the card reader or one for each other 
umass, and it works a treat.
