FltGetVolumeFromName() failure for USB drive

We have an intermittent problem with FltGetVolumeFromName() not finding a volume on a USB drive by its drive letter. Return code is STATUS_FLT_VOLUME_NOT_FOUND. It’ll fail for a while, and then work for a while. Anyone have any hints as to what might be going on? System is Windows 2003 Server.

It might fail from Instance Setup callback. I found the same happening
sometimes on pre-Vista, and the Vista WDK explains this has to do with a
possible MountMgr deadlock.

Upon further investigation, ‘fltmc volumes’ does not report the USB drive. I can browse it in explorer.

Its a Western Digital WD5000KS.
