It is actually supposed to be mounted fully automagically, without
modifying fstab and such. If it does not work, can you please do the
following immediately after you plugged in the device:

  dmesg > dmesg.txt

  lshal > lshal.txt

  pidof gnome-volume-manager

  pidof gnome-volume-manager || echo GVM has died!
  # (please tell me whether "GVM has died) is printed out)

Also, even if it does not work automatically, can you please try the
following

  pmount /dev/sda1

This should mount your stick (assuming that you do not have other SCSI
devices; if you have, it's sdb1 or sdc1) to /media/sda1 and an icon
and a Nautilus window should pop up.

Please do not fiddle with fstab for these things, for removable
devices this is not robust anyway.

Thanks!

Martin
