So your actually have two problems:
1) getting the automounter to mount your flash drive.

2) getting xfreerdp to forward that mountpoint to the RDP server.

You could try to research them independently. Let's start with 2): How
about running xfreerdp on a Linux "fat client", and tinkering with its
cli options until you get it to forward a local directory?

Regarding 1): Funny coincidence, I was trying out the usb mass storage
automounter today and realized that in its current incarnation, it can
only handle VFAT - not ext*-formatted media.
I'm planning to improve the code in question $SOON, but at the moment, I
would suggest double-checking that your flash drive is in VFAT format.

Kind Regards,
