The devices that HAL adds are not always the same. For example, sometimes
USB keys come up on /dev/sda1 and other times on /dev/sdb4 depending on
where the device was partitioned and what other devices have been inserted
or removed during uptime.

The mount points under /mnt/hal/ also are not always the same. (or has
this been abandoned in favor of /media/something-consistent-like-usbN)
