I have not had much luck with the ubuntu list. Google could not help me either and I needed to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Since ubuntu is almost, but not quite, entirely based on sid, I was hoping someone on this list would have an idea as to how the whole thing works in the background.
As a temporary hack, I disabled the user's access to /usr/bin/gnome-mount. But I suspect it is some bug in the specific version of hal (0.5.9). Neither etch with 0.5.8 not sid with 0.5.10 exhibit this problem. I have compared the conf files of hal in the ubuntu version with those on my sid and etch boxes but there appear no obvious differences. I shall try installing the latest version of hal from sources today and see if it helps.
