It can take a few seconds for udev to find a USB device and create all the
symlinks and device nodes.  I know I have to wait 3-4 seconds after plugging a
drive in to be able to mount it by label.

# if it's not mounted
mount /mnt/backup
# then
ls -la /mnt/backup

...the command in the script is "rsync -av --delete-after /home/bmike1/
/mnt/backup/bmike1" .  It assumes that the dir /mnt/backup/bmike1 exists, and
that it's writable by the user you're running as.  "mkdir /mnt/backup/bmike1
&& chown YOURUSERNAME /mnt/backup/bmike1" as root if this is not the case.
