Well, that could be a few things.
Try watching the logs (/var/log/messages) when you insert the media.
Was anyone else administering this machine prior to you getting it?
The NSA security guide advocates removing the usb storage modules
completely from the kernel tree, and many other security guides
recommend blacklisting the module. There are a few hundred different
ways to keep removable media from showing up. You'll have to clue us
in a bit more as to what's going on.
