WD Elements Portable 1TB not mounting

[Whitey]

I have a WD Elements Portable 1TB which I'm connecting to the Pi through a USB hub. Here's both of those products:

The Pi boots up fine with the power from the hub however it doesn't seem to recognize the HDD. If I go to Videos -> Add Video Source -> Root filesystem -> media I have a list of directories called usb, usb0, usb1, all the way up to usb7. None of these seem to be the hard drive as when I click on them they show empty directories.

Using SSH and running lsusb I get this output:

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c50e Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse Receiver

I don't know what "Standard Microsystems Corp." is but I'm guessing it's not the hard drive. I've also made sure that I have the ntfs-3g package installed and I do.

What could be going wrong here?
