i tried the usb drive about 10 times before reporting the bug, with no
success. after running the "ubuntu-bug storage" program and reporting
the bug, the usb drive started automounting correctly

on another machine, the drive wouldn't automount until i ran
ubuntu-bug. in that case, the drive automounted while the bug program
was running.

in other words, i think the "ubuntu-bug storage" program somehow
"fixes" things. i assume the fix is temporary, but still - it should
be a clue

Did not tried the ubuntu-bug storage, but

devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdb5

*did* the mount. Maybe the Samsung Omnia internal disk is too strange for devicekit automount?

Hmmm... system just upgraded devicekit. Maybe a reboot is needed? Will try later.

Ok, now it mounts the Omnia memory perfectly. No reboot needed. Puzzled.
