If you fire up gconf-editor, is the /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible key set?
Also, are you manually mounting the drives or letting them automount ?

Do you have the hal daemon running? Add "hal" to your list of daemons at the end of your /etc/rc.conf file. I couldn't see my MP3 player until a enabled that. Hope it helps.
