Ok, the above line is the only commented line in /etc/auto.misc
but my memory stick automounts. The reason it does is the line in the
/etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0

Now that line is managed by the fstab-sync system. Clearly your line
could not be referring to /dev/sda1.
I would assume that you need to edit the fstab-sync files
and choose another device e.g /dev/sdb1 on which to
mount the stick. Unfortunately I can't quickly find the file that
needs editing but a line like the one above needs to show up in your
fstab file. Maybe someone can come up with the needed changes that need
to be made.
