I guess I'll have to roll my own kernel, then.  I had thought of compiling 
usb_storage into the kernel so it wouldn't be unloaded, but I need the build 
tools.  I read somewhere on this list that 'apt-get install build-essentials' 
will set me up but since I get a 'pkg not found' (or whatever the error is) I 
can only surmise I need a new line in my sources.list and would appreciate 
someone enlightening me as to what that line is.

As far as I am able to determine the usb_storage module is the only one 
loaded.  Apparently everything else --if it needs anything else-- is either 
already loaded on boot-up or is compiled into the kernel.

I don't mind a couple coasters if I know progress is being made.  K3b, 
however, seems to be notorious for telling me a particular error is 'not 
necessarily serious' and then turning that media into a coaster 100% of the 
time.  It also sits back and grins as I change from DAO to TAO --at its 
advising-- and then commences to turn yet one more medium into a coaster.  
K3b still is one of the better tools I have used, so I keep using it.
