Problems with USB disk redirection

Hi to all,

I am experiencing some problems with USB disk redirection with rdesktop-1.6

I am connecting a linux client, with a linux custom distribution (linux 
from scratch) with glibc 2.3.6 and kernel 2.6.20, to the terminal server 
of a windows XP PC, virtualized with VMWare infrastructure.

The usb storage devices are redirected to the XP terminal server with 
the option
-r disk:usbdevices=/mnt/usbdevices

/mnt/usbdevices is the directory where all the usb storage devices are 
mounted, on the linux client, with different directories (es. 
/mnt/usbdevices/disk1, /mnt/usbdevices/disk2, etc.)

All works well during the rdesktop session except for some USB storage 
device: they appear on the server side, but after some time the server 
avoids the access to the usb resources... sometime in the RDP session I 
have an authorization error, sometime I see the redirected device as an 
empty window.

I can say that the problem is related to the RDP session, because while 
in the RDP session I can't use the redirected usb device (ex. 
usbdevices\disk1), on the linux client I can normally work on the 
mounted dir /mnt/usbdevices/disk1.

I can't understand if the problem is related to rdesktop program or to 
the server side infrastructure.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Many thanks in advance.
