Are you using a Desktop Environment, and if so which one ?

with KDEmood I have no problem, but with E17 it doesn't work too, so depends on what you use I guess

HAL is an Hardware Abstraction Layer. It communicates hardware and kernel events to the applications using D-BUS.
But it does not mount anything for you. The mounting is under your Desktop Environment responsibility. You have to enable the "automount" functionality in the Desktop Environment you use.

As long as I do not know E17 I cannot help you.
Did you search for "E17 automounting" with you favorite web search engine ? In this forum ?

I solved it with autofs, it isn't much elegant but it works to some degree. So i'll make this my goal for the time, i have more free time.
