can't mount dvd, thumb drives, etc

I have F9 x86_64, which I installed from a revisor iso.

When I insert a dvd into my drive, or a usb thumb drive into the usb 
port, the volumes are not auto-mounted. They appear in Nautilus under 
"Computer", but right-click>mount doesn't work (no error messages appear).

I suspect I'm missing some critical rpm.

"Sys > Prefs >Hardware > Removable Drives and Media" exists, but none of 
the tabs deal with dvd drives or thimb drives.

I do have these rpms:

[mjc at xena Desktop]$ rpm -qa | grep mount
gnome-mount-nautilus-properties-0.8-1.fc9.x86_64
pam_mount-0.48-2.fc9.x86_64
gnome-mount-0.8-1.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-penmount-1.3.0-1.fc9.x86_64

[mjc at xena Desktop]$ rpm -qa | grep volume
libvolume_id-124-2.fc9.x86_64
gnome-volume-manager-2.22.0-5.fc9.x86_64

[mjc at xena Desktop]$ rpm -qa | grep hal
hal-info-20080607-1.fc9.noarch
hal-0.5.11-2.fc9.x86_64
hal-libs-0.5.11-2.fc9.x86_64
hal-devel-0.5.11-2.fc9.x86_64
hal-cups-utils-0.6.16-4.fc9.x86_64


Suggestions?
