chmod'ed it and got

drwxr-xrwx 2 root root 6 Sep 19 08:24 usbdisk

Removed and re-inserted the memory stick and got:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Sep 19 08:25 usbdisk

The problem is not the permissions. It adds the mount point, but does
not mount the disk for some reason.....

Sorry I did lost the thread...

### first consideration ###
try setting the right nls support for your usb, my /etc/fstab contains

/dev/sda /mnt/usbstick vfat noauto,users,codepage=850 0 0

where codepage is set to be central european(850) - by the way that
problem shouldn't exist if you're ABLE to mount the usbstick by

mount /mnt/usbstick

if you're not able to mount it so probably you will find something
useful in /var/log/everything/current, where maybe it is set that right
nls or codepage cannot be found or something else

### second consideration ###
you could add a line in /etc/udev/udev.conf regarding log such as

udev_log="no"

or maybe more explicative

udev_log="debug"

and take a look at /var/log/everything/current

### third consideration ###
regarding sleep command the syntax should be:

>>BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sda", ACTION="add", PROGRAM="sleep 3; /sbin/mount /mnt/usbstick"

or maybe it would be better create a script file and then call it with
PROGRAM handler

Lol.
