This is determined by
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi.
You can either edit it or just move it out of that location and auto
mounting would work.
It has been done as a security measure but policy kit in Fedora 8 should
make this much more usable. There is a recent discussion in fedora-devel
list about this FYI.
