IIRC gnome uses the gnome-vfs it's own virtual fs that handles all the calls 
so I don't know.
I have autofs setup properly and it works for me anywhere but I am not using 
gnome

my configs
auto.master
/mnt    /etc/auto.removable --timeout 10
auto.removable
cdrom           -fstype=auto,ro,user,utf8       :/dev/hdd
floppy          -fstype=auto,rw,sync,umask=0000,utf8    :/dev/fd0
usb             -fstype=auto,rw,user,utf8       :/dev/sda1
