Which is exactly what you want to do here.

Computer B (has USB device connected to it) - through a bunch of hoops, the kernel on B is faking a USB device with the storage area of /mnt/us (or, rather, its lowest level layer of /mnt/us).

Then, at the other end of the network connection - over any type of networking - is computer A ...

Which has to do the same as with any USB storage device connected to it - mount it into the file system.

As mentioned above, sshfs is already supported and a "better idea" (tm).

Although your not limited to that, if you dig a bit here, you will find that we have supported nfs, cifs, nbd, and other types of export on the Kindles in the past.
Any of which allows part of the Kindle's file system to be mounted into the directory tree of a remote client.
(Also mentioned earlier in this thread.
Even mentioned by the O.P. - so I guess the O.P. already had the answer to the question and is just wasting our time here.)
