choosing mount for my external usb drive in dolphin or executing /usr/bin/kio_media_mounthelper -m media:/sda1 I get the following in ~/.xsession-errors: kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_b4a55d59_873b_42e8_9e01_9e86bab503fe: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied - Device /dev/sda1 is listed in /etc/fstab.
