I actually figured out the problem. When I plug a USB storage device in, it shows up in disk utility as unmounted. If I mount it I can then access storage. But if I unplug it then I need to remount it in disk utility again. So I think I just need to apply an automount solution and then I'm golden.

Great! There's probably an option for that in the settings.
