A workaround:
Add the following to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf:
<!-- Allow plugdev members to mount volumes -->
<policy group="plugdev">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
Make sure that you're in the group plugdev *in /etc/group*. Note that
automagically putting yourself in plugdev via /etc/security/group.conf
will *not* work for the HAL-based mounting.
This is really, *really* silly, and the last part (about
/etc/security/group.conf) is not going to be fixed any time in the near
future (see Debian bug #377689). Why did the KDE folks switch from
pmount to HAL?
