You'd better do this using HAL and D-Bus, which will notify you when a
device is mounted. Not need to poll /proc/bus/usb/devices.

The directory in which an USB storage device has been mounted is
readily available if you use the HAL/D-Bus method I mentionned
previously. See the Python example I gave.

But all this discussion has pretty much nothing to do with the kernel,
so the kernelnewbies list is probably not the best place to have such
discussion.

Sincerly,
