I found that I could get a 128Mb MuVo to work by creating a directory 
(as root)

# mkdir /media/muvo

and putting the line

/dev/sda1            /media/muvo          subfs 
fs=floppyfss,user,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

(one line)

into /etc/fstab.

The problem seems to be submount, which is new in 9.1. After I've done 
this, the device appears mounted correctly 15-20 seconds after inserting 
the device.

Occasionally, the device mounts itself as something like /media/USB...
instead.

The problem seems to be submount. You can disable submount altogether by 
editing the line
HOTPLUG_USE_SUBFS=yes
in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug to
HOTPLUG_USE_SUBFS=no

Then everything ought to work as it did in earlier versions of SuSE.
