Actually guys this is one of the problems as attested to by a number of messages on the Ubunu forums. While Auto-mounting apparently worked fine in 6.x its apparently broke in 7.04.

When I first open media run ls-la I get (after the cdrom and floppy entries)
--ws--x--T 1 root root   0   2007-05-16 18:02 .hal-mtab-lock

after running
mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash I can now read the contents in the media folder.

Thanks to all for their hints and assistance
Try adding adding that into /etc/fstab with options rw,auto,user and hopefully next time it might auto mount for you. That'd work for any msdos disk. You should experiment with the "auto" option instead of msdos, then you may be able to mount any single USB drive with one entry:

/dev/sdb1       /mnt/flash         auto    rw,user,auto  0       0
