Disk not listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid

I am having problems mounting one of my USB disks by its UUID. Mounting the drive as /dev/sdx# works flawlessly. As I am not sure how to approach the problem, here is some of the stuff that I have tried:

blkid correctly lists the disk and corresponding info. /dev/disk/by-uuid does not list the UUID of the disk vol_id /dev/sdx# gives the error message /dev/sdx#: unknown volume type
vol_id --type vfat /dev/sdx# results in vfat: error opening volume

Any hints, pointers, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
