I have had a something similar problem in Debian etch. An NTFS-formatted USB drive *would* actuallly get mounted, but I couldn't browse the filesystem or change into it as normal user (only as root) and Konqueror gave that same message: 'hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid NNNN'. I solved it with umask option in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /media/usb auto rw,user,noauto,umask=0002
