...have you installed hal and pmount too and made the necessary changes 
in fstab after having  made a new directory, something like <# mkdir 
/mnt/usb_device>? in that case you should be able to see in your 
/home-file something under <devices> like hardisc /sda_x  
/mnt/usb_device or whatever you want to call that directory. on my 
machine thids is working fine (sarge, 2.6.8-2-686)
