Looks o.k.

That looks a bit strange ... It should only be recognized on sgb ...

Yeah ... I suspect these should rather be "-d umax:/dev/sgb"
or something like it, as the driver will need to know which protocol
to talk, too ...

O.K. This is normal. These devices cannot be accesses that easily.
However it shows, that two devices are there.

I do not know the UMAX driver too well, but I assume the "umax:" prefix
will do the trick.
