Thanks all for the responses.
I am running ntfs3g on this machine. HAL is doing the mounting to  
system:/media.
All I want is to be able to switch on the external drive, which then shows up 
on the desktop automatically and the copy files to it.

I just thought all of this happened automatically these days, so I feel as if 
I have something not set up correctly or missing from my amd64 kde system.
