Did everything go accordingly up to that point?
 
Did you go:
 
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
 
before trying to mount it with..
 
mount /mnt/usbstick
 
?
 
 
 
I added this to my .bash_profile which is in the home directory..
 
 
#!/bin/bash
 
/sbin/modprobe usb-storage
mount /mnt/usbstick
 
That way it mounts every time I reboot. If it's not there, it doesn't matter.

Did you do;
 
cd /mnt
mkdir /usbstick
 
...first?
 
Then issue the command mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick.
 
Remember, there is a space between mount and /dev/sda1, as well as sda1 and /mnt/usbstick.
 
This also has to be done as root user.
