It sure does in my case.  Are you saying that the gnome automounting
thingy looks in /etc/fstab?

I have my usb hard drive in /etc/fstab thusly:

/dev/sdc1/      /mnt/backup     ext3    user,noauto,rw           0  0

When I plug it in, it is automounted (at /media/...)

I umount it, and remount "by hand".
