Bill, I have similar problems, I'm trying to enforce custom mountpoint
/media/apacerht203 for my Apacer flash drive. My FDI is

$ cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/50user/apacer_ht203.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <device>
     <match key="info.bus" string="usb">
       <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x1005">
         <match key="usb.product_id" int="0xb113">
           <merge key="usb.product" type="string">FooBarJustToTestMatchWorks</merge>
           <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" 
type="string">/media/apacerht203</merge>
       </match>
     </match>
   </device>
</deviceinfo>

but so far I failed to set it for correct object, as I don't know how
to propagete it to volume object.

(Anyone willing to kick me in the right direction?)
