I am running squeeze.
I have following lines in /etc/auto.removablelvgandhi@lvgvaio:~$ cat /etc/auto.removable
flash** -fstype=vfat,rw,uid=1000,umask=022,posix,shortname= winnt****** :/dev/flash
ehd**** -fstype=vfat,rw,uid=1000,umask=022,posix,shortname= winnt******** :/dev/ehd
#ehd*** -fstype=vfat,rw,uid=1000,umask=022,posix,shortname= winnt******* UUID=84C0-F18B
I tried both /dev/ehd and UUID methods.
/var/autofs/removable/ehd is mounted as root.root.
I tried chown as sudo. There also I failed.
lvgandhi@lvgvaio:~$ sudo chown lvgandhi /var/autofs/removable/ehd
chown: changing ownership of `/var/autofs/removable/ehd': Operation not permitted
Any solutions to mount with ownership of user?

If you use the automounter for a filesystem without access permissions
(like vfat), users usually can't write on such a filesystem because it is
mounted as user root. You can solve this problem by passing the option
gid=<gid>, e.g. gid=floppy. The filesystem is then mounted as group
floppy instead of root. Then you can add the users to this group, and
they can write to the filesystem. Here's an example entry for an autofs
map:

Ah, good.
Autofs should also work fine, just it needs the GID, as manual says, when
it comes to vfat volumes.
