I have really no idea, but maybe we can find something out.

- Is /media empty before you plug in your USB device?
- What filesystem is on your USB device?
- Instead of logging into KDE login on console (tty?), plug in you USB
  device and run "gnome-mount -d <devicefiles>". If it works, the problem
  is probably on KDE's side. If it does not work, it's probably HAL's
  issue.
- Did you change something in HAL?... :-) .fdi files or something like
  this?
