Thanks Nils, I did all of that (and more) although I may not have stated 
it very clearly above. Anyway, I have discovered the cause of the 
problem but not the cure.

The USB devices are now being auto mounted but the notifier is not being 
triggered. I noticed that this has occurred after a recent string of 
updates were received. Perhaps future updates will fix the problem?

I panicked because it seemed that I couldn't do the weekly backup but 
all is well now except for the notifier.
