Oops with autofs [FIXED]

Question

I was trying to get my usb external drive to automount so I installed and configured autofs according to the instructions on the wiki.
However, since autofs was configured to use /media and all my other devices were in /mnt, I configured autofs to use /mnt as well. Autofs wiped out all the directories in /mnt and inserted cdrom and usbstick directories. I uninstalled autofs and automounting is working fine now on my usbdisk ( I needed to add myself to the storage group and start hal and dbus ). However, my cdrom won't automount. If I mount it manually, I can view the contents in konquer by going to /mnt/cdrom but it won't show up under the media:/ (the storage media list).
In addition, I can't remove the /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/usbdisk directories. I'm not sure if that means anything.

Answer 1

After a couple of reboots, it seemed to fix itself (*yay*)
