Terribly sorry you're having trouble... Since you cannot find those
folders, it would seem that your kernel /doesn't/ have USB built-in. It
could be that USB support is compiled as a module, and the module
required isn't loaded.
/sbin/modprobe -l (or often 'lsmod') will show you what kernel modules
are loaded. You can try loading a module and see if that changes
things... Unfortunatly, I'm not sure which module to load. I suppose
you can try:
/sbin/modprobe usb-core
and see if that does anything. Finally, there may be some enlightenment
in the /etc/modules.conf file...
