Ok so I bit the bullet and started fresh but was still struggling to use the USB for the library. That was till the penny finally dropped, I was looking for how to address the memory stick and when I went in under files, I could see it but not when I was trying to add it as a source. Like I say, The penny finally dropped and I realizes that the USB was a folder on the root files, I went to /var then /media and there it was! all now working as I wanted.
Thanks guys for the assistance.
