Automounting MP3 Player

I have an iRiver MP3 player. Previously, when I have attached it to my
Fedora system, it has been automatically recognised and mounted and an
icon has appeared on the desktop.
Just now when I plugged it in, I didn't get any of that happening. I
still got the following messages in /var/log/messages

And I can still get access to the player by manually mounting
/dev/sdc5 to the appropriate directory. But it used to be an automatic
process and I'd like to get that functionality back.
I recently did a clean installation of Fedora 8 onto this system. I'm
pretty sure that it has worked since the upgrade (but I can't be 100%
sure of that).
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave...
