FC4 usb devices not auto-mounted (udev and fstab-sync log output missing)

This is all I get when I attach a USB drive on an FC4
system:
Jan 6 21:23:17 treafy kernel: sda: Write Protect is
off
Jan 6 21:23:17 treafy kernel: sda: assuming drive

/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0
Jan 6 21:24:30 treafy kernel: usb 4-2: USB
disconnect, address 3
Notice that there is no output from udev or fstab-sync
(as there should be), so the usb drive doesn't show up
on the desktop (though I can manually mount sda1).
Why wouldn't udev (and then fstab-sync) react to the
presence of the usb device connected as sda1?
On another box, same FC4, this device works perfectly.
The difference is that the non-working box was
upgraded from FC2, while the working box was upgraded
from FC3. I'm pulling my hair out trying to discover
what I'm missing on the non-working box.
Any ideas for what I might be missing? I had to
manually add a 'haldaemon' user to get
/etc/init.d/messagebus to not complain.
Just for good measure, here's output from lsmod:
