Problems mounting USB drives

I am having some problems getting USB flash drives to (auto) mount on my system.

In the past, when I plugged in the device (a simple USB flash drive), it showed up in Thunar and I could click on it to mount it. Now nothing shows up in thunar when I plug in the device. dmesg shows the following, so I know the device is being recognized:

usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14

but it isn't being assigned to /dev/sd*. fdisk -l also doesn't show the device. lsusb shows the following for the device:

Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0781:b6b7 SanDisk Corp.

I added a udev rule to automount in /media, as per the udev wiki instructions, but that didn't do anything. Installing udisks and udiskie was similarly unhelpful. I tried this with multiple USB drives (which I both confirmed were working on other machines) so it doesn't seem to be a HW problem.

Thanks in advance.
