Also you can't force the stock music and video apps to look in /sdcard2!

Is there some pending fix for this within Android or is this a manufacture's created mess?
Honeycomb (at least in U.S. versions) does not support read/write to the external card (sdcard2) from the device. It is read-only unless your device is rooted and then you will be able to read/write. This is a Google limitation on U.S. devices. If you are not rooted, then you will need to connect your device to a computer in order to move your files between internal storage and the card.

You should be able to access your music and video files with stock apps - I can.
