I have to confirm this behaviour. Furthermore not only the automount property gets ignored but also the mount point as well as the mount options selectable through the mount properties dialog. On Dapper it worked until an upgrade to hal from 0.5.7-1ubuntu18.2 to 0.5.7-1ubuntu18.2. On Edgy it didn't work right from the beginning, and no update (including KDE 3.5.6) did correct this.
