Sep 27, 2013 at 18:07 comment added slm @hotkarl - I think you missed my point. The automatic mounting of USB drives is done by a different system that's part of GNOME. The autofs service is for mounting directories typically from a samba or NFS share. It can mount other things, but is generally not used for this.
Sep 27, 2013 at 18:05 comment added hotkarl Unfortunately, like I said in my post, running those commands, as root, does not stop or start the service.
