The entry was added before 2.5.0 (more than 7 years ago), and I can't 
tell who added it.  And the entry doesn't say anything about DPCM 
(multiple-LUN trickery).

Ed, it looks like you're out of luck.  Unless you can figure out the 
vendor-specific protocol used by that device, and modify the sddr09 
driver to support it, you won't be able to use the device under Linux.

Or am I completely off base?  Did it used to work with an earlier
kernel?  If it did, can you get a usbmon trace of it?
