(I am assuming that you are using Sid aka Unstable, based on the version
of Gnome that you mention.)
Let's address the problem of the missing /dev entries first: Plug in a
USB stick and wait a few seconds. Then look at the end of the log file
/var/log/syslog. You should see something similar to this:

Check for error messages or changes in the device name. If the messages
make no sense to you just post them here. Hopefully that will tell us
where things go wrong.
