According to your g-v-m log, the device was automounted: manager.c/2618: Changed: /dev/sda1 manager.c/2020: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part1_size_498089984... manager.c/2170: mount queued for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part1_size_498089984 manager.c/3044: Mounted: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part1_size_498089984 manager.c/923: executing command: nautilus -n --no-desktop '/media/usbdisk'
