Thanks to HaYNstyle, a problem that was starting to bug me has all but vanished. I installed VMWare on my SUSE installation so that I could run Visual Studio 2005 under Windows XP, and realised that I could also synchronise my K-JAM under Windows as well. HaYNstyle, on the VMTN forum, wrote how to go about mapping USB drives to the virtual machine, with 100% success rate. Check out the related link.
