Noted with tks.

OK just for curiosity.  I found automount worked on this USB enclose when 
installed on FC5_64 on this PC (on another HD) and also on FC5_32 on another 
PC, both with icons displayed on gnome desktop.

Yes, it worked, no icons on gnome desktop.

$ ls -al /media/disk
$ ls -al /media/disk-l
showed 2 partitions of the USB enclosure.

On console
