No you can't use USB devices attached to the tablet.

To enable host mode:
$ echo host> /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode
To set N800 back to OTG mode:
$ echo otg > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

I have no idea if your HDD will work or not but if it does not use much power it might, give it a go.

I made up an OTG cable by soldering together pins 4 and 5 and tried it with my 40G USB drive enclosure and it worked just fine, but it did seem slow, but not horribly so :-). Takes a while to load up in file manager, but it detected and DID open the drive just fine.

You can? Interesting. I guess I'll need a gender changer cable to take that for a spin. I should have one of those around somewhere.

Permission Denied.
Do I need root?
When I try to gainroot I need a p/w which I ain't got.
Did I miss something?

I've an external 2.5" HD that can run without a PC, when I plug it into the N800, is there a way that I can access FROM the Tablet?
Did that make sense?
You should check what format the external HD is formatted? If it is FAT or FAT32 it should work, but if it is NTFS you may be out of luck.

The HD is powered by a battery pack, so I'm not worried about the draw - needless to say
**************** edit *****************
Am in as root, and host, plug in and get the infamous "unrecognized ...", then after a few I get "Unable to Connect - No file system available".
I can read the drive everywhere else - other machines.
