To this point, whenever I've plugged a storage device (flash drive, mp3 player) into a USB plug, it's magically mounted and I get an icon on my desktop.
I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount. I can mount it manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine.
I believe that a card reader is not a storage device per se and, hence, does not mount until you connect it with a card plugged into it or plug a card into it. I've never used mine any other way, and it always works just fine.
