Here is an entry from my custom /etc/usbd.conf:


device "Memorex ThumbDrive"
  product 0x9988
  vendor 0x0a16
  release 0x0100
  class 0x0000
  subclass 0x0000
  protocol 0x0000
  devname "umass0"
  attach "/sbin/mount_msdosfs -u michael -g users /dev/da0 /mnt/ThumbDrive"


and as soon as I plug it in, it is automatically mounted.  Do you have these 
options in your kernel config file?

device	scbus
device	da
device	pass

I am successfully running this under -current, btw.

Also, be sure to umount the stick manually before removing it or it could be 
fatal (to the kernel, not you)!
