No worries, the internal udisks component is new to all of us :) I believe it's new in Lucid,
has not been in Karmic.

Media not being mounted is reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584052.

Interesting enough it appeared to me, that Martin's udisks patch above in #109
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/539515/comments/109 also
solves the mounting problem on Lucid. But if Felicia is on Karmic and Karmic has no
udisks that's of course not a solution for her. Anyway I guess any "automatic media mounting
not working" observations might better be directed to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584052.

A manual work around to automount not working is in my comment from 2010-05-30 in
