Lets do things one at a time.

Put off the USB hub first to minimize variables.
1) were you able to get into USB host mode? Just hook up a keyboard and test it.
2) were you able to generate the USB icon when get in/out of USB host mode
3) were you able to make the external HD work with the tablet
4) when you are sure about the config, then repeat the whole exercise with the USB hub.

My recipe, so far so good,

1) connect the USB hub to AC adapter
2) connect the ext HD to USB hub
3) connect the USB hub to a poweroff tablet.
4) turn on the tablet
5) xterm>USB OTG>USB host

If still no USB icon, I would momentarily unplug the tablet from the USB hub for a couple of seconds and reconnect and repeat
xterm>USB OTG>USB host
