and that script will run, but it seems to happen before the drive is
mounted. I thought maybe I needed to work with gnome-volume-manger
but that doesn't seem to be used in Intrepid.
So, I'm a bit confused how the parts fit together.
What I want is to have the drive mounted like it normally is, then run
a script and then umount the drive. And for a bonus pop-up a window
to DISPLAY 0:0 saying the rsync was complete.
Seems pretty basic.
Anyone done this?
Thanks,

I've not tried it, but have the script wait a bit:
sleep 10

Or let the script mount the drive.

That's what I'm doing and it works fine. The Script is pretty
trivial, really.
It's still getting mounted by gnome (I assume) after the script runs.
That's the part I'm wondering about -- how to stop that from happening
for this specific thumb drive.
Thanks.

I use the following to stop auto-mounting of my hot-swap backup hard

Make sure you have libblkid1 installed(at least that's the name in Intrepid) and then run from a CLI:
blkid /dev/<block ID name> usually sda(x) or hda(x) and the output will give it to you.
