The problem is with the definition of 'shows up'. GNOME will show such
devices in Nautilus, file chooser etc, but it doesn't actually automount
until you try to access it through such a graphical app. So you can't
access it through the terminal unless you mount it manually or go click
on it in Nautilus to get it mounted first.
