Johannes responded by email with the following, I will mark this bug as Invalid.
--- The problem is solved. The reason was the start up from grub. USB-Sticks and camera will be mounted only by the first kernel installed in grub. But first time after updating from ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 the first kernel did not start, so I used the third one. Now also the first is starting and then USB-Sticks can be mounted without Problem.
