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...
