How to disable gnome automount feature

[Nataraj]

I have several USB drives that are getting automounted by gnome.  I have
tried:

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_media false
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives false


gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/volume_manager

shows that these are disabled.  I even rebooted the machine, yet the
drives continue to be automounted.  As far as I know all other automount
services are disabled:

How can I stop the automount of these disks?

Thanks,
