You want to do a hotplug script. Look under /etc/hotplug for the usb.usermap. It will have a bunch of colums of numbers (be careful of line wrap). Insert a line at the begining with a name of a script or module and the device information (google for linux hotplug for details on each colum). Create a script with that name to do whatever you want. For example I have a Lexar Jumpdrive (128M USB Flash drive). I added a line reading : jumpdrive 0x0003 0x05dc 0x0080 0x0001 0x0000 ...
This tells the hotplug system when a USB device (0x0003) matching the vendor and device ID of 0x05dc 0x0080 to call a script in the /etc/hotplug/usb folder called jumpdrive. The script called jumpdrive contains simple commdands: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/jumpdrive cp /home/enine/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf /mnt/jumpdrive/backup/backup.vcf which backs up my address book each time I plug the drive in.
