How to Get Automounter to mount volumes automatically?

It works when I mount manually but does not work when I try using Dolphin filemanger. I already have hal & fam daemons running. and Whenever I plug the disk, I do get popup like this:

Upon clicking on it, I get Empty Drive. but in actuall the drive it not empty. its contents do show up when, I mount it via command line.

This is not just for this drive, but for all CD/Flash/USB hdds.  none of them work, unless I mount it manually.

any idea what going wrong?

Re: How to Get Automounter to mount volumes automatically?

What does it mean 'can't work' ?

Because we can see here:
Mounted /dev/sdb1 (Read-Write, label "New Volume", NTFS 3.1)
and
Mount options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,users,silent,allow_other,nonempty,relatime,fsname=/dev/sdb1,blkdev,blksize=4096

So according this log is okay.
