Usually your desktop environment, whichever one you use, has the
utility, scripts, etc. that mount (and unmount) such devices
automatically.  You didn't say which one you are using.  So, if you do
have a desktop, something failed to be install that does this
mounting.  What that may be I couldn't say without more info on your
system.

I don't run a desktop at all on my 64-bit Wheezy system.  Just a window
manager (Openbox), LXPanel and Debian Menu.  I had to write my own udev
rules to mount USB thumb drives, SD cards, etc.  You might look into
that. Works just fine as soon as you have those scripts.
