Naming an Portable USB Compact Storage?

I just picked up a 64 mb Cigar Pro USB portable storage unit
http://www.cigarusb.com/ (shaped like a little cigar) from Tiger Direct
for the cost of shipping (sorry, the rebate expired yesterday 10/31).
It mounts fine on my Tibook running OS 10.2.8 in the USB port.
However, it shows up with the title of NO_NAME under Name & Extension
on my desktop.
When I attempt to change the name to something I want like "Cigar USB",
it won't change under File/Get info. Going to the ownership &
permissions area and unlocking the lock isn't helping me out any. What
step am I missing?
I have mounted the same unit on an XP box ... it mounted successfully.
I'd like that to continue being a X-platform way to move document
between my Tibook and the XP stuff "I have to use" after getting it
renamed.
TIA
