Check and see what happens if you run:
gnome-mount -td /dev/something

This should work as a normal user from the command line without a DE
running. But it may only work for a local login, and not an ssh
login, depending on the security settings. There are other options
to gnome-mount to give more control of the mounting. If you do not
use them, then the HAL rules determine how the drive is mounted.
