Did you choose a default action for that type of device when the
notification first appeared? AFAIK, KDE will not pop up the notification
again once the user has selected a default action (and this default
action can be "do nothing").

dmesg reported:

usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0944, idProduct=0001
usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-2: Product: PXR4
usb 2-2: Manufacturer: KORG INC.

Is that the complete output? It seems that no device node(s) was/were
created.

Is any customisation needed for udev / HAL to create a device file when
this device is discovered? I'd like it to auto-mount as /mnt/usbdrive

Normally this should "just work". I run KDE on Sid/amd64 and I have not
noticed a problem with this in ages; I don't have the same storage
device, though. Can you post the output that you get when you run

lshal --monitor

and plug in the device? (CTRL-C to stop, but wait for at least 10
seconds after you plug in the device.)
