Thanks for your bug. Does your user has the group "plugdev" assigned?

Yes.
I forgot to mention that.
Also, if I run pmount -d /dev/device, the harddisk/usb-floppy/whatever will be mounted. Only the auto-mounting fails. I also tried reinstalling g-v-m, hotplug and some other related packages but have not been successful so far.

Could you get the gvm log as described on the wiki page you pointed?

I did so. Find ist attached.

the g-v-m log

[Solved] I mailed with Martin Pitt yesterday who was also interested in the problem. He concluded that hal for some reason did not find the device. Thus I decided to check the packages again and found, that when reinstalling the first time, I had missed the package hal-device-manager. Reinstalling this package once more fixed the problem.
I actually don't know what exactly happend. I used users-admin to delete the default user, maybe this is the culprit to blame? There still was another user on the system having an administrator profile, though.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate greatly all your help.

thanks for the comment, I've closed the bug. Martin, is h-d-m supposed to bring some needed files?

Actually not, h-d-m is not at all necessary to get automount love. If you can reproduce the problem, please attach some debugging logs described at

  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices

and reopen the bug.

Sorry for a late answer, but I directed incoming mails regarding this topic to my ubuntu-folder in evolution and there was a lot of mail above...
I'm also sorry to report, that the bug is no longer reproducible as - whatever happend after installing the above mentioned package - the problem seems to be gone. The workstation the install is on, is also a productivity-system, hence to be honest I'm not too keen to experiment by deleting the default-user once more.
@Martin: I still have a copy of the logs I sent you. If you need them I could attach them here. Or would you rather like todays logs? And shall I reopen the bug under these conditions?

If everything works with the latest packages, then a bug does not make sense. Please just reopen the bug if automounting still fails. hal-device-manager should not influence the behaviour at all, it's just more or less a debugging tool.

Thanks!
