I know this works when using a normal debian installation, with gnome
desktop. As most debian-edu installations uses kde, I have not
investigated much to get it to work using diskless workstations. I have
made usb-memory-sticks work using kde, by adding some hack to usbmount.
Are you able to get it to work using normal workstations and
icewm/nautilus ?
I think you have to add some package to make it work, mabye
gnome-volume-manager, and I guess you need to add your users to some
groups.

I guess your desktop isn't light anymore ....
