I'm having a very hard time understanding your message. Isn't this the same issue you posted earlier? You'll want the USB hub to be powered and it should work (keyboards, disks, sticks, etc). Don't expect to power anything from the NIT.

This is how ive connected my device. mini B-male A cable which iz connected to a non powered hub(1). hub(1) is then connected to hub(2) and hub(2) is connected to hub(1) . when i plug my usb memory stick into hub(2), the device lights up and is on like normal bt i cnt access its files
any ideas?

This cannot work; hubs aren't just wired through. There's a host port, and you need to connect your N800 to it. That will require some custom cabling, of some sort.
