directIO on usb mass storage/scsi device in 2.4 kernel

hi 
  I am having problems getting directIO(file write
using O_DIRECT) work on scsi device(seagate usb hard
drive) on an ARM platform.
 I really dont know if it is a sg driver or USB
problem, so I am posting it here.
  Any pointers would definitely help.
Thanks
Syed

 Here are the details:
1) cat /proc/scsi/sg/version
30125   Version: 3.1.25 (20030529)
2) Linux kernel 2.4.35 
3) mount -t ext2 /dev/sda2 /var/usb
4) echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio
5) Code used to test:
  int in,out
 wrkBuffRaw= memalign(getpagesize(),
34*getpagesize());
  in = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
  out = open("/var/usb/temp",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT);
(or out = open("/dev/sda2",O_RDWR|O_DIRECT);)
  read(in, wrkBuffRaw, BUFSZ);
  write(out, wrkBuffRaw, BUFSZ)
  The same code works fine if I do read from the sda2
with o_direct(same is the case with sg_dd utility)
