Something similar (orphaned HAL policy preventing USB automounting) already has
bitten some users recently, including me:

BTW, I really like the pace of changes in udev and hal. At least one can see
that the projects are live and kicking :-) That said, it would be nice if
portage/whatever took care of this so users wouldn't be forced to mess with the
udev and/or hal policies...
