Is mounted but where? Being a USB unit it should be under "/media" unless 
it is defined in "/etc/fstab" and gets a static mount point.

My USB flash drives neither :-) 

But I have setup GNOME to behave that way (g-conf editor → apps/nautilus/
desktop/volumes_visible [ ]). To enable, just select [x] that option and  
Volumes will show in desktop.
