I've definitely copied files from a USB stick onto an ASR9001, so I 
can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to on a 990x platform. Pretty 
sure I did it on a 9006 with RP880s, but it's been awhile.

The trick is usually figuring out the correct device name. In my travels 
I've seen "usb:", "disk2:" ... ymmv.
