from the mount man page 

   The  type  iso9660  is the default.  If no -t option is given, or if
   the auto type  is  specified,  the  superblock  is  probed for  the
   filesystem type (minix, ext, ext2, xiafs, iso9660, romfs ,ufs, ntfs,
   qnx4, bfs are supported).  If this probe fails, mount  will try  to
   read  the  file  /etc/filesystems,  or,  if  that  does  not exist,
   /proc/filesystems.  All of the filesystem types listed there will be
   tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev" (e.g., devpts, proc
   and nfs).  

In other words, the auto option in mount does not understand hfs or udf
(which is why it works if you specify it manually)

Try adding the filesystems in question to /etc/filesystems. That might work.
