Excellent.

When activity permissions info becomes required, there will be a flag
that grants access to removable mass-storage devices (or maybe just to
the USB/SD devices? not sure). At that time, you'll need to specify this
flag in order to keep your feature working, however, this is a
post-Update.1 feature.

You might be able to get a better path from HAL.

Mainly to be aware that the current DS implementation copies data
to-and-from the removable media. [I think.]
