I'm late to the party, but since it looks like you haven't found a
solution yet ...

Does the kernel on the Pogoplug create /dev/disk/by-uuid? You might
be able to put a path like
/dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID=062801fe-7225-4834-b27d-104e375c1bbc
directly in /etc/fstab as the device name, even if the busybox
mount command isn't smart enough to handle it.

If it doesn't create those devices, does it have /dev/disk/by-id ?
I use that for mounting devices like a Nook and Samsung Galaxy that
don't have UUIDs showing up properly (because they don't have
partitions, just filesystems directly on /dev/sdb rather than
/dev/sdb1, and for some reason Linux doesn't reliably create
UUIDs for such devices).

Finally, if none of those are there and your /sbin/findfs script
isn't working, could you modify the script to look in
/sys/bus/usb/devices and figure out which device is which?
Or run lsusb piped into sed and grep to find each device's USB ID?
It's a pain, and certainly not an elegant solution, but it ought
to work.
