/mnt/usb is a red herring I think, this is only used with the Camera type 
devices as the destination to copy the content to on connect.  I saw that you 
gave it but it should be ignored.

What you should be seeing is a Konqueror window opening on /mnt/usbaudioplayer 
on connect.

Nothing will happen though unless automount is functional.

Automount is provided in a package 'autofs'.  Can you check your version and 
update it?

#rpm -q autofs
autofs-4.1.3-8

here.  Then check again what can be seen at /mnt/usbaudioplayer when the 
device is inserted.

By chance I also have an Ours Technology USB 256MB stick and it's working 
great with usbautocam here.  Here is what I see in /var/log/messages (selinux 
noise deleted)

And a nice Konq window pops up immediately with my USB stick contents.
