deviced affected - firewire/IDE external hard drive & usb mass storage mp3 player

After the move from hotplug to udev, connected firewire and usb external hard
drives are not mounted automatically. I am able to mount them via CLI however.
dmesg reveals the kernel is seeing the devices attached. floppy disks are
mounted but with intermittant success and only after several minutes of "thrashing".

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Plug firewire or USB drive into computer
2. mtab shows no drive mounted, /dev/sdXX is not created, drive does not appear
in gnome
