How long did you wait after these messages appeared? On my system it
takes about 2-5 seconds more for the following to show up:
23:50:53.743: volume_uuid_487F_1EC0 added
23:50:53.878: storage_serial_Prolific_Technology_Inc__USB_Mass_Storage_Device added
23:50:53.880: storage_serial_Prolific_Technology_Inc__USB_Mass_Storage_Device property info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable'} (new)
You should see similar output eventually, or something might be wrong
with HAL.

I get the messages in different order, but besides that I don't see
anything unusual in your output.
