Can you check your /var/log/messages to see if devlabel is saying something about a devlabel ignore_list regarding the partition that you are attempting to use devlabel with. In the newer versions of devlabel, I have implemented this ignore_list to reduce the number of kernel errors people were experiencing with devlabel. Basically, if devlabel sees there is something wrong with the partition table of the storage device, it won't allow you to use it with devlabel. Try doing an sfdisk -V on the usbkey and let me know the results.
No output from devlabel in the logs about an ignore_list, Gary. But I did discover that sfdisk refuses to read the usbkey. Says "partition 1 extends past end of disk." So I reformatted with one vfat partition but the same thing: devlabel sees the UUID on the device but refuses to mount the partition. Too bad my other CF devices wouldn't work with the older devlabel code cuz it really seems that having the ability to specify partition number is the key to making this work.
At this point FC1 has reached its end of life, and it is unlikely that these issues will be looked at for FC2's devlabel.
