I figured the cause of HAL not realizing that /dev/hdX is a CDROM: it
was running as 'haldaemon' user in the group 'haldeamon', whereas
/dev/hd* belong to root:disk and root:cdrom with mode 660.  HAL was
trying to open devices, but failed.  When I specified in /etc/group that
haldaemon is a member of 'disk' and 'cdrom' groups, automount magically
began to work!

I wonder what would be the proper setup?  I don't seem to find any
relevant directions on the web...

...now to figure why USB disk is not automounted either...
