Certainly not alone.
The problem seems to be kernel 2.6.x related.
I've also tried the 2.6 mass storage patch in conjunction with various 
UMS firmwares for my 590T, without succes. Turning on verbose mass 
storage debugging shows a lot of errors and warnings.

The only solution for me is using a 2.4 kernel with my player flashed as 
manager version. Occassionaly I get a Input/Output error, but 
re-connecting the USB cable resolves that problem.

There are some changes in the 2.6 USB code, but nobody seems to know 
what causes the problem.
