If it is not possible to configure this in Gnome (I do not know anything
about that) then you can try to enforce this policy at the HAL level.
The file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi has an example for using
the storage.automount_enabled_hint policy, but it is commented out by
default. If gnome-volume-manager honors this policy (as is claimed in
the comments in preferences.fdi) then something like this should work to
turn off automounting for a give device (here /dev/scd0):
<device>
<match key="block.device" string="/dev/scd0">
<merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</device>
After restarting HAL you should see that the policy has been changed:
$ lshal -u $(hal-find-by-property --key block.device --string '/dev/scd0') | grep automount
storage.automount_enabled_hint = false (bool)
