USB Memory Stick not Automounting (or manually mounting)

[Rick Knight]

Due to a hard drive crash, I've had to re-install Kubuntu 8.04 to a bare 
drive. Everything is working so far except that I cannot get my USB 
Memory Sticks to automount, nor am I able to mount them manually. I've 
installed autofs but that didn't help. I've run "sudo tail -f 
/var/log/messages" and watched the output while inserting the Memory 
Stick, but there is no response. This has always just worked in the past 
so I'm not sure what to do to fix the problem. Anyone able to offer any 
help?

Thanks,
Rick
