You would be better off doing this in HAL. But if you do not want to
mess with HAL, it would not be hard to create a udev rule to mount
the drive using the fstab entry. Hotplug has been depreciated and I
am not sure it even works any more.Then

Could you highlight how to configure this in HAL or point me to some instructions?

Here is my fix, it may benefit others

I commented out the mount line in /etc/fstab and edit gnome-configure following these steps:

launch it from a terminal as a normal user
gconf-editor
/system
/storage
/default_options
/vfat

Right click on the mount_options and select Edit Key
and change
shortname=xxxxxx
to
shortname=mixed

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
