Did you choose a default action for that type of device when the
notification first appeared? AFAIK, KDE will not pop up the notification
again once the user has selected a default action (and this default
action can be "do nothing").

Is that the complete output? It seems that no device node(s) was/were
created.

Normally this should "just work". I run KDE on Sid/amd64 and I have not
noticed a problem with this in ages; I don't have the same storage
device, though. Can you post the output that you get when you run
lshal --monitor
and plug in the device? (CTRL-C to stop, but wait for at least 10
seconds after you plug in the device.)
