Seems a permission issue. su to root after the "auto" mount and take a
look.
If you can see your file or can write a touch file then your user may not
be in
the necessary owner/group to view/write to the structure. Seen similar problems in upgrades... same user but the UID changed in the upgrade and blinded the current user to older files that were preserved.
A
simple chmod command from root fixed the issue to restore proper ownership. Just a wag, but sometimes it's the little things.

Let me add this which I failed to mention.
This was a fresh install as a "Server with Desktop". I have been adding packages as needed.
Week before last when working on this, I was looking through the logs and found REAR need syslinux which wasn't installed. I may not have all the packages installed I need. I run REAR as a cron job around 2AM. If I did a reboot/restart and forgot to manually mount the USB drive or forgot to click on it gnom, which is usually the case, I don't get a backup.
It ran last night and I was OK, but I'd still need to find out why its not mounting by itself.
Thanks
