Hmm I think I correctly installed and configured the stuff (see below).
But it doesn't work. When I plug in my usb one more time, well nothing
pops up! Please advise. :-(

Make sure the device you want to add is DISCONNECTED or powered off and
hit enter


Now power up and plug in the device to add and hit enter

Device is found at /dev/sda1
Device manufacturer 0x0ea0, product 0x6803
Device type is Ours Technology, Inc.

Guessing device is a CAMERA/Card Reader and wants files moving on connect

Hit Enter, or 'C' to force Camera, 'A' to force Audioplayer/Flash Disk
A

Device is an AUDIO PLAYER

Now please DISCONNECT or power down the device you want to add and hit
enter

Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
/misc already existed, not creating...
/etc/auto.master already has an entry for /misc, skipping...
/etc/auto.misc already has an entry for usbautocam, skipping...
Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]

Creating /etc/hotplug/usb/usbautocam
(hotplug product code=ea0/6803 )


COMPLETED.  From now on when you insert that player,
 a Konqueror window will open on its contents.  You can
 drag and drop files as usual.  Wait 3 seconds after the
 file transfer is complete and you can disconnect the player
 with no unmounting or anything else needed.
