Been away on holidays and just got back.
This is my experience as well. USB drive works properly on two FC-4
machines but not on a third machine. All updated almost daily. Two
configured almost the same.
Just tried to mount my stick on the machine that does not work.

/media/Robin_Laing for /dev/sda1
The stick is labled as Robin_Laing.
The mount point is in /media but when I type in mount, it isn't listed
at all. df doesn't show anything either.
If I remove the stick, the mount point /media/Robin_Laing disappears.
Something is not tying the /dev/sda1 to /media/Robin_Laing.
I thought the stick was damaged as a Windows user had borrowed it. I
can manually mount the drive.
Are your symptoms the same?
