Strange that it works initially, but stops after a while.  The power
issue was something I was thinking about earlier, and I'll try it via a
powered USB hub, that might help.

But that was appearing when it had been mounted, but it had gone from
being read/write to read only, and then vanished altogether.  The power
issue would explain why ls -l /dev/sd* showed the SSD missing.  But how
does that explain why the mount point is being rmdir'd.
