The same USB drive works perfectly (i.e. automounts) in another xubuntu 11.10 system.Just out of interest are the system id partition flags set correctly ? Doesn't explain why you don't get the problem elsewhere but it can cause problems with automount.
What do you mean by "system id partition flags"? If you mean the partition ID values shown by (for example) fdisk then they look fairly OK to me:-

Does this happen with "any" USB stick or usb removable media (card readers/USB drives etc)
Yes, or at least I haven't found anything that automounts since the problem showed itself.
CDs/DVDs don't automount either, the drive spins up and does all the usual actions but nothing appears anywhere.
