There are lots of posts about USB mounting problems, but I haven't seen any about the particular combination of circumstances I've encountered.
When I insert my USB stick drive, it is detected correctly and shows up as it should in dmesg. However, it doesn't automount. I was having some problems with hal not working and I thought that was the cause, but now I've fixed hal (by correcting /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to eliminate the default deny entries as suggested in another post), and I still have no success in getting automounting to work. However, explicit mounting as in mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 works perfectly.
Is there someplace where I'm supposed to be activating automount for USB drives? I've installed usbmount, pmount, autofs, and gnome-volume-manager but that doesn't help.
