Hello, I have been using the Awesome Window manager for about three weeks but I still can't figure out how to automount filesystems. The autofs daemon is running but nothing happens when I plug anything in. What should I do?

Did you wiki pages on setting up autofs automounting?

Yes

What about trying to use pcmanfm, which is the file manager of LXDE.

Yes, you should try PCManFM or Thunar in order to manage the media that have been automonted by hal.
Personally I prefer Thunar

I've used Thunar in the past, I just tried PCManFM, but I can't read/write to my fat32 flash drive as a user.

Nothing is supposed to happen "when you plug anything in". The media will be mounted only if you request the mountpoint (with a file manager or you cd to it), under the assumption that you wrote your /etc/autofs/auto.* files correctly. You should read the wiki page again, and you should check your /var/log/daemon.log for explanations (you can also enable verbose logging in /etc/conf.d/autofs).
You need to install an RTFM interface.
