getting automount to work is pretty easy (in my case fedore core 2)
cd /etc
cat auto.master

# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
#/net /etc/auto.net

cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux -ro,soft,intr ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1

usb -fstype=auto :/dev/sda1
usb2 -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1

Create a directory /misc
addition to local_conf.py:
__________________________________________________
plugin.activate('usb')
# 2 possible USB storage devices (camara and usbstick)
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Storage', '/misc/usb'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Data','/misc/usb2'))
_________________________________________________________
cd /etc/init.d
./autofs restart
This should do the job, it worked for me on freevo 1.4rc
