That normal. /media/sda1 is created automaticly when pmount
mount /dev/sda1.  Please comment out the sda1 fstab entry,
and check that you are in the plugdev group (run cmd 'id').
if not:
	sudo addgroup $USER plugdev

then logout and login to activate the group member ship.
AFAIU when you now insert the camera it should be mounted
and konqueror will pop up.  If not try as normal user

	pmount sda1

In breezy automount/display should work.  In dapper it will be even better,
you get a dialog that allows you to select between different action like
mount&show, ignore.   Unfortunately digikam support for this was not ready,
so you will not see it in the list of choices in dapper when a camera is
pluged in :(

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
