I also have this problem with my Seagate drive only. Two other thumb drives, and one other external hard drive (Fujitsu, via an unknown brand enclosure) 'automagically' mount with no problem.
I will included all outputs as described in the DebuggingRemovableDevices portion of the wiki. I am using Feisty Fawn 7.04, with Hal 0.5.8.1-4ubuntu12. I've used the methods described for 'Dapper Drake' as there are none specific to Feisty yet.
