I think you could tweak with /etc/hotpulg/usb.agent, it's a bash script.
See the beginning of the file for ... uh!

I found a very usefull tool while looking at usb.agent: updfstab 
It's in the kudzu package, install it, read the man page and tweak
usb.agent to call it in the add) case as it's already done in
the remove) case

(backup your fstab file before experimenting :)
