Autofs not working

Hi,
I tried auto mounting my USB key drive and USB camera to automount but not sure where I am missing.
Here is my approac.
I followed  this wiki!
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AutoFS_HowTo

my rc.conf reads

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond kdm alsa hal autofs dbus)

and my fstab
/dev/sdb1       /mnt/usb   vfat noauto,users,rw   1  0

However, everytime I have to do a manual mount of /mnt/usb.
I would like my usb drive and camera to be auto mounted and the suggestions for appropriate application to open. Eg with the camera, digicam should open.

I am using kdemod.

EDIT::
When i do lshal and then connect the USB drive I get this output
bash-3.2# lshal -m

Start monitoring devicelist:

So hal is detecting a USB drive, but does not automount.

Abhay

Re: Autofs not working

My suggestion is to try the hal/dbus aprotch instead of autofs. Atleast for me it has been alot more just works(tm)

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL

When it comes to the camera, Is it set up for  mass storage or ptp?

Edit2: Oh, and you shoudn't need to set up a line in fstab. That can actualy breake automounting.
