I'm out of ideas too. I think you might have better luck over at kde.org where 
you can talk to some kde hackers.

I did find on my system that individual devices for mounting were listed in 
~/.kde4/share/config/kded_device_automounterrc

I assume you cross-checked everything in SystemSettings between the two 
machines? If so, then I'm really out of ideas.
