I did get this figured. In the Windows Advanced Audit Policy, aside from auditing Removable Storage, I also needed to audit "File System" which is not ideal, but I do now get the actual folder created. For others attempting to audit removable storage, you also need to following registry setting set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage\HotplugSecureOpen
This setting also seems to require a reboot.
