In my case, device nodes were being created. The fun started when I ran
"hald" in foreground and I got the following message:

*** [DIE] mmap_cache.c:di_rules_init():68 : Unable to open cache
/var/cache/hald/fdi-cache

This post (google cache if link is broken) has more about it:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal-commit/2007-March/003077.html

Lo and behold, there is a fdi-cache~ in the same directory. Renaming it,
then restarting hald in the background makes KDE pop up the "mount"
dialog upon device connection.

Nothing is mounted, though, I am just sharing this tidbit in case it
helps somebody else.
