i think HAL is incharge of automounting. Pacman -S hal and add "hal" to your daemons array in rc.conf

You'll need to be in the storage group also for USB flash drives.

If you have entries for the optical drives in /etc/fstab these sometimes conflict with HAL, try commenting them out

Try to comment dvd, cdrom in /etc/fstab.
Also try these commands:
# gpasswd -a user optical
# gpasswd -a user storage
# gpasswd -a user disk
# gpasswd -a user hal
# gpasswd -a user dbus

Oh, logout and login to check

If you don't know, Arch is for advanced users, but I agree with you, that it must be in beginners guide. Good luck using Arch
