The hub gets +5V from a wall wort (see photo).

EDIT: I got this all working with an external Hard Disk Drive today. See it here:

Also, here is a little pigtail I made: (pins are 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, 4 to 4, with 4 & 5 on the mini-B tied together). I can be used for low power USB peripherals like keyboards and flash memory sticks.

Would there be any issues just connecting an unmodified USB hub to your pigtail adapter? Seems like you can buy these OTG minib to female usb A adapters.. Someone suggested directron.. and I found this other link:
