Can't read partition table of 3TB USB disk

Can't read partition table of 3TB USB disk

I've connected a 3TB disk via SATA and formatted it with a GPT partition
table and added a single partition.
Now, after moving the disk into an external enclosure and connecting it
via USB, the partition table won't be detected.

It will work using the eSATA connection from the external enclosure. But
not everybody has an eSATA port, so I need USB support too.
I've tried different Ubuntu and Kernel versions (12.04 with 3.2.0-52,
13.04 with 3.8.0-29, 13.04 with 3.9.0)
Ubuntu should support 3TB via USB shouldn't it?
