hal pmount issue?

[Matt Egger]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a hal or pmount issue, but I've not been able to use
usb removable drives as any user other than the first user created during
breezy install.  Specifically, I'd like my GF to be able to use gtkpod with
her ipod.  It worked under warty...

The ipod shows up as belonging to user 99 (non-existant, as far as I can
tell) or the first user created during the breezy install (my account).  My
GF has read only access.  After searching the web and the forums, this seems
like it might be an ubuntu issue/bug.  I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but I haven't been able to find a solution.  One suggestion was to
add an entry to /etc/fstab using the device's UUID, but as far as I can
tell, the ipod doesn't have one.

I'd really like to be able to plug in the ipod, have it automount to
/media/ipod (or some other persistant mount point), appear on the desktop,
and have rw permissions under her account.  I think this is reasonable,
considering I was able to do it before a new install of breezy.  If anyone
has a solution to this problem, sharing it would be greatly appreciated.  Is
this a Known Issue or a bug?

TIA,

Matt
