I have installed usbmount on the RPi but it still won't automount a USB memory stick. The output from dmesg reports that it is seeing the insertion of the USB memory device. The device is also reported under lsusb.

Normally it's something with systemd or udev rule flags. I had to google it as I'm
not aware of all the rules. See if this works:

Make sure it works  by changing MountFlags=slave to MountFlags=shared here:

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service

Not sure this helps,
