The automatic handling of removable media requires that many different
components work together - the kernel, udev, hal, dbus, assorted KDE
libraries and services. I am not too surprised that it does not work
with the kind of mix that you seem to have on your system.
I suggest that you make up your mind which branch of Debian you want to
use and then downgrade/upgrade/remove/add packages as is necessary until
your entire system comes from that one branch only.
You can use the following command to find out which ones of your
currently installed packages do not belong to your intended target
archive ("testing" in this example, replace this string if you decide on
something else):
aptitude -F '%p%t' search '~S ~i !~Atesting' | column -t
