hal permissions for usb drives and sticks and mp3 players and mass storage
devices don't work
out of the box in breezy ubuntu 5.10 (i386)

this worked well in hoary.

gives a pmount permission error in the nautilus "My Computer" folder.

I can only mount them as root.

There are similar issues with my usb scanner. xsane works when run as root, not
as a normal user.

there are lots of posts in the ubuntu forums about this.

the only advice I have seen is the change the permissions on the /dev/sd* (or
whatever) files and create fstab entries - but this is tricky when the udev name
changes. Also it USED to work on hoary. 

This is a regression!
