and I rebooted the machine and I gave  alook to fstab & mtab with no
external device attached:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

tmpfs	/dev/shm	tmpfs	defaults	0	0

mtab

/dev/dm-0 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0

nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw 0 0
gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/antonio/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
rw,nosuid,nodev,user=antonio 0 0

now when I insert an USB stick I can't mount it and my system says
that it not possible to mount it as only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on
/media/Philips_External_Hard_Disk (taht is not connected)
An additional USB is mounted as sdc1

/dev/dm-0 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0

/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0
nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw 0 0
gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/antonio/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
rw,nosuid,nodev,user=antonio 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/disk vfat

Is gvfs-fuse the component to be filed against???
