A friend of mine bought an mp3 player (some generic brand) that didn't
automount for unknown reasons. I mounted it manually but adding an entry
in /etc/fstab like below and it mounts fine that way.

/dev/sdc1 /mnt/mp3player vfat rw,users,noauto  0  0

Then "mount /mnt/mp3player" to mount it and "umount /mnt/mp3player" to unmount
it. You need to mount the correct device and that directory needs to exist.
You need to use the correct file system also, I think I used vfat but I'm not
sure now.

I don't know what version of usbmount is in lenny, but the version in
sid doesn't recognize vfat filesystems.  You can change that by
modifying the "FILESYSTEMS" variable in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf

Note the scary message about sync'ing before umounting the device for
vfat, which is why it's disabled by default.

An other thing to check: some of them have only one partition on them
(like, mine didn't automount either, because it was seen as /dev/sda
instead of /dev/sda1).

I've got a Sandisk Digital Audio Player 1GB and Debian Lenny, Kernel 2-6-22-3-686, KDE Version 3.5.8.
It is automounted by a deamon,
here what I get after confirmation window

$mount
...
/dev/sda1 on /media/(devicename) type vfat (rw,nousid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower)

Hope it helps you.

Ciao.
