Better is to use this /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<!-- This .fdi file prevents automount for every media (storage devices)
e.g. floppy, CD/DVD, USB-Stick, USB-Disk, external hard disk.
The original SuSE SDB supplied version was modified to meet
Brownout needs. -->
