[solved] Bad USB Stick Performance

Hi!
I got my MP3 USB Stick today, (Creative MuVo TX SE).
It has USB 2.0 Support, and my Mainboard should be USB2.0 ready too (NForce 4 )
But when i copy some files on the stick, i have about 3 mb/min, but even USB 1.1 should have a much higher transfer rate.
I had the same Problem some time ago, with another USB Stick.

I mount the Stick with the autofs daemon, this is my entry in /etc/autofs/auto.media
usbstick -fstype=auto,sync,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/sda1

dmesg says following:
usb 1-9: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 5
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

I'm running the Archck Kernel and newest udev from stable.
If you need further information, just ask

€dit:
problem only exists on pc #1

autofs seems to make problems, with manually mounted usbstick i get full performance
