Do you have usbd="YES" in your rc.conf file?
USB stick should be detected as ugen0. Read the dmesg before and after
you attach the USB-drive.
Add perm /dev/ugen0 0666 into your devfs.conf
i /dev/ugen0 /usr/home/Username/mnt/usbstick msdosfs rw, noauto
0 0 into you fstab file
I see no reason that the stick is not mounted automatically.
You already have HAL on.
