Hello,
I've CCed the bug report, assuming you had simply forgotten to do so
in your mail. (please try to keep it as CC, it helps when the whole
discussion is logged in the bug tracking system)?

That is curious... It might be a hal bug rather than a pmount one, then.

You might be interested to use lshal on the machines to try to spot
differences. It makes a lot of output, try finding out the disk UDI
by:
~ lshal | grep -B1 /dev/sda
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Hitachi_HDP725025GLA380_GEK250RB38UBKL'
block.device = '/dev/sda' (string)
and look at the output of
~ lshal -u
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Hitachi_HDP725025GLA380_GEK250RB38UBKL
(well, you get the idea).
Cheers,
Vincent
