You are correct.

Using a Mac I formated the drive hfs/hfs+ ( not sure which one ). I
chose not to use the journaling option. They say that doesn't work on
Linux. Connected the drive to the CentOS file server and got nothing. No
hfs support in the kernel. Connected it to my Ubuntu Dapper workstation
and got a drive icon on my desktop.

I'm now rsyncing data to the USB drive. It's a little slow because the
data is sucked across the network using NFS and then it hits the USB
drive. It's working! I'm happy! :-)
