Aha. Did not install gnome* packages at all. Maybe this is the problem.
I hope I do not have to install all of gnome for this.

Thanks for your input. I will install gnome-volume-manager and report
how it went.

BTW, is gnome-volume-manager a must for this automounting functionality?
Isn't there any other application that does this? Just curious.

Good question. 'magicdev' is another (older?) option, but it is
gnome-based too. I *think* gnome-volume-manager was an attempt to do this
automount business "right" (no polling, etc), but it is not exactly a
lightweight in the memory department (91 MB VSZ, 5.5 MB RSS). That's
tolerable for a desktop, but not great for an appliance-style box...
