This item from this week's Debian Weekly News might be useful for your
question if you haven't yet solved it, and to l-d subscribers generally:

Automatic Integration of USB Storage. Martin Dickopp has [11]developed
a script that automatically mounts USB mass storage devices when they
are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are removed. He
[12]mentioned that similar functionality is included in the [13]pmount
package when it is used as part of the desktop together with the
[14]hal device manager, though.
