Disabling usb storage on centos 5

[whoami i]

HI,

  This is my first mail to this mailing list.I want to block external usb
storage completly on my  server running on centos 5 having confidiential
data.

 For that i used udev and blocked the external usb storage by creating the
udev rule  mentioning any usb storage will get mounted to /dev/null so that
users cant mount as well.

  But in the mean time i am getting below log in my /var/log/messages file
when i insert any usb storage device.
