Can't automount without being root

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Hi folks,

I'm using KDE-3.5.8 on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Since the HAL upgrade I can't 
automount as an "ordinary" user anymore. I get the following error message in 
Konqueror:

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)

Automounting as root is fine. My user, btw, is set up as a member of both the 
wheel and operator groups. 

Cheers,
Dwayne MacKinnon
