Automount stops working after resume

Sometimes when I suspend my computer and then resume, the automount program seems to stop working. I put a usb drive into the port, and it does not mount automatically. However, I can see that the device was added to /dev/disk/by-id, by-path, by-uuid, etc.

I came up with a little python hack to get it to work, but it sometimes does not get the permissions right, and the disk may be unwritable (from my user account). I will post the hack in the following post, in case anyone else might find it useful.

I am running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a pentium m processor.
