I, too am getting the "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-option refused
UID 1000" message with my Maxtor One Touch III (1 TB), but I was able
to manually mount through the command-line.  I haven't figured out how
to make it automount yet, though.  BTW, I am using Firewire (400) and
not USB to interface with it, but I am not sure if this makes a
difference.
