Got my USB flash automount broken after reboot. Using Debian 6, GNOME 2

My NTFS hard-disk is still mounting correctly.

When i connect my Anrdoid smartphone (with SD and local drive) my messages log looks like:

tail -f /var/log/messages

So the problem is somewhere on software level. And the problem is i want it to automount, but it isn't working. Can anybody help?

p.s.: How do Debian USB automounting is working "from the box"? Where can i read about it?

UPDATE: Did some apt-get ideas from web and now i have:

Running: halevt-mount -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_DACE_470F -o sync -m 002 -o gid=plugdev

Now USB flash mounts, BUT read-only. How can i fix read-only? Any ideas?

So, the problem is that it doesn't automount, or it does and you don't want it to? – jordanm Aug 21 '12 at 21:34
Problem is it don't, but i want to, yep. Sorry : ) – Max Peaceprayer Aug 21 '12 at 21:57
Try running on the command line one of the 'halevt-mount' commands from the above /var/log/messages to get the actual error message, if it cannot be found from the mentioned file. – Jari Laamanen Aug 21 '12 at 22:43
