Seconds after plugging the USB drive into my Intel Solaris10 box the
disk appeared under

/rmdisk

under a long path name. However, since then and after several reboots
the drive can no longer be seen. It doesn't make any difference
whether the automounter is running or not and rmformat -l makes no
difference.)

When the disk used to be visible it could also be seen in the listing
from rmformat -l

Try:
svcadm restart volfs

The William Caulkins book recommends each time you want to remove the
USB device:
1) volrmmount -e <device>
2) svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default
3) disconnect USB device
4) svcadm enable svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default

Regards, Scott
