This looks good-everything as it should be.
usb-storage is your mass storage driver.
usb-uhci is your hub driver.
usbcore- pretty self explainatory.

C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=
From this we see that the device is indeed recognized. EXCELLENT! In case you are curious here is a little info on what you are seeing:
Cls=08(stor) <-this is the CLASS and indicates a mass storage device.
Sub=06 <-this is the SUBCLASS and 06 indicates a SCSI device.
Prot=50 <-this is the PROTOCOL and indicates bulk.

I would do two things here:
Try adding the following to:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h

**this path may be wrong as I am not at my Linbox right now**

UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x0aec, 0x5010, 0x0100, 0x0100,
"Soyo Technologies Corp.",
"Soyo CigarPro Flash Memory Drive",
US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_BULK, NULL,
US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY),

Have you ever successfully connected this device to any other machine or have you only tried it on your Linbox?
If you've never connected it then surely it isn't formatted. If it isn't formatted then I don't think you could mount it.
Using sfdisk, you can find out which drive letter it's been assigned and get the info you need to format it all at the same time.

sfdisk -l /dev/sda
sfdisk -l /dev/sbd
sfdisk -l /dev/sdc

.....and so on. I have used '/dev/sda1' throughout so just be sure to insert your drive letter if it is different. AND if you have any other SCSI disks make sure you don't format the wrong one or - well you get the picture.

So go ahead and format it (I think FAT16 or FAT32 should be fine)but make note of this: DOS bites us in the arse. Quote from man sfdisk-"DOS FORMAT expects DOS FDISK to clear the first 512 bytes of the data area of a parti*tion whenever a size change occurs." I interpret this to mean that if you use DOS fdisk then you'll have no problems. If you don't have access to a DOS machine that you can use to partition the drive then partition with sfdisk, reboot so the partition table is written to the disk and then:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1

That should zero out the first 512 sectors.

Next make a directory that you want to mount the drive to (if you haven't already).

mkdir -p /mnt/pendrive
then mount it
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive

Note that I suggest the 'auto' flag instead of specifying a file system. Hopefully that does it. Then just do a:

cd /mnt/pendrive

If you need assistance with symlinks here is a really cool program called 'devlabel' It claims to be able to keep track of symlinks and drive letter assignments for you.

I might have a few more ideas if these don't do it for you. If you do need more assistance check your documentation and see if the Vendor I.D. and Product I.D. are listed. Good luck!
