The plot thickens. (Sorry to continue to reply to myself...) I 
remembered that I had an older FC6 i386 installation on another machine 
here at home, that I haven't booted in some time, much less updated. I 
popped the TravelDrive into an open USB 1.1 port on a connected hub and 
lo' and behold! It mounted immediately without the problems I'm having 
on the x86_64 installation. I'm attaching the dmesg, and below is the 
message log excerpt. The only thing that I'm noticing that concerns me 
is that there's a message from hald stating that the device was mounted 
on behalf of uid 500 (which I believe is my uid), where as there's no 
similar line in the x86_64 message log even though it's also configured 
for auto-mounting removable devices...

May 20 16:29:54 localhost kernel: usb 1-2.3: new full speed USB device 
using uhci_hcd and address 6
May 20 16:29:54 localhost kernel: usb 1-2.3: not running at top speed; 
connect to a high speed hub
May 20 16:29:54 localhost kernel: usb 1-2.3: configuration #1 chosen 
from 1 choice

Storage devices

May 20 16:29:59 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 2007040 512-byte hdwr

type 0
May 20 16:30:00 localhost hald: mounted /dev/sdb1 on behalf of uid 500

And for the record, the the older i386 installation is using kernel 
2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 where as the newer x86_64 installation (where the 
problem is located) is using kernel 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.

Thanks again,
Raymond
