There were problems with various versions of udev, & gvm, but you seem to have avoided those... Read here for some more info if you're feeling adventurous: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107784 > Do you have gnome-volume-manager installed and in your session(not > sure if thats needed). Of course! well spotted Andrew! you need to start gvm - run `gnome-volume-manager &` from a terminal, then logout and back in again, and see if it works. After that, you could try the preferences for gvm, (in preferences > removable drives and media) and make sure automounting and such is checked. If that _still_ fails, then gnome 2.14 would be looking tempting to me - but you may not want to go that way...
