Doesn’t work on FAT disks for me neither. And I had to tweak
/etc/hotplug/attach to avoid (re-)mounting the crypto volumes my (fully)
encrypted disk is made of.
Joel Carnat has a different approach to this (see
http://www.tumfatig.net/20110903/automount-usb-stick-on-openbsd/) but I
haven’t looked at it yet, nor do I know if it still applies cleanly,
since the post is more than two years old.
