I have only worked with the 7400 board but the issues re: mounting a USB 
memory device may still apply to the 7300.

In order to mount the drive, you need to install various kernel modules before 
you can issue the mount command.

The following is from the rc.local file I created and invoke from rcS.sysinit 
during system boot:

#Install USB-related kernel modules
insmod usbcore
insmod pcipool
insmod usb-ohci
insmod usb-ohci-ep93xx

#Install modules needed to support USB memory devices
insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
insmod usb-storage


There may already be a shell script on your board called install-modules.sh 
(or something like that) that does the same (or similar) job. Once you have 
all the modules installed, you should be able to issue the mount command.

There was one other issue I had with the 7400 and memory sticks. I was unable 
to mount a 4G memory stick. Another user reported problems mounting one of 2G 
in size. To start off, use a memory stick with a capacity of 1G or less until 
you know you can mount the device. Once you have successfully mounted a small 
capacity device, you can try with larger capacity memory stick.
