Starting usermount, I get this message: "There are no filesystems which
you are allowed to mount or unmount. Contact your administrator."

That is what you are referring to?  Following the suggestion at
http://www.archivum.info/linux.debian.bugs.dist/2006-09/msg09928.html
I added the option 'pamconsole' in /etc/fstab.
usermount does show mountable partitions/devices after that, but then
bumps into another problem while trying to mount them.
'dmesg | tail' shows why:

    EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "pamconsole"

Tried the version from Sid, but no luck either.
Some googling reveals that usermount does not appear to work together
with hal.

Seems to be an unresolved problem.
