I seem to have lost the ability to automatically mount usb flash
memory sticks on my desktop. When I place a stick into a usb port the
usb drive shows up in the Nautilus viewer and the following is logged
in
/var/log/messages:
Sep 26 10:04:14 vhost04 kernel: ugen3.2: <Kingston> at usbus3

This is what dmesg shows:

da0: 60017MB (122915328 512 byte sectors)
da0: quirks=0x3<NO_SYNC_CACHE,NO_6_BYTE>
But /media is empty:
# ls -al /media
total 9
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 Sep 22 12:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 24 Sep 23 08:41 ..
Attempts to mount the drive from the nautilus window of my
non-privileged user account fail.
I can however mount the drive manually and Nautilus then sees the
contents:
# mkdir /media/usbkey
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/usbkey
# ll /media/usbkey/
total 112

drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 Jul 5 08:23 xnet241/
How do I get the former 'auto detect and mount' function to work again?
