udev is managing your device entries, but that doesn't stop you from
manually creating the node with mknod. That said, it more than likely won't
make any difference, anyway, since the kernel is getting a media not present
error when trying to do the initial read (probably to get the partition
table so it can make the requisite /dev/sdb1, etc.).
End sum: if cleaning the contacts doesn't improve things you may very well
be SOL.
