I don't have a machine running udev which is both capable of
hot-plugging and not rack-mounted in a distant location.

However, I'd try:

find /dev > /tmp/before.lst
(insert media)
find /dev -> /tmp/after.lst
diff -u /tmp/before.lst /tmp/after.lst | less
# rm /tmp/before.lst /tmp/after.lst

The 'diff' command will give you an idea of whether any device entries
were created during hotplug. It's possible that entries are being
created with an obscure name; it's also possible that nothing is being
created.

I don't recall your specific setup, but you didn't specify whether dmesg
indicates anything when you plug in or unplug the devices, only that the
ports themselves were detected. Did you try plugging in and unplugging
the devices and watching for additional dmesg entries?
