USB-stick fails to mount: device descriptor read/64 error...

[PROBLEM]
Trying to mount a USB storage on Linux, fails with syslog message:
Unfortunately, the scsi mod fails to mount partitions of this stick and causes an usb-device reset (ugly).
The actual reason for this mass storage device failing is the existance of a strange "secure" partition.
[SOLUTION]
Remove this "secure partition".
Unfortunately it seems that this is not possible under linux. You must use a proprietary configuration tool, that's located on the USB stick: "usbdiskpro winbinary".
Lucky us, the version on the stick itself (264) was NOT able to delete this partition.
Using USB Disk Pro v265 was finally able to "remove" this secure partition:
One should also deactivate other security settings like password protection, locking, etc...
