ok. I created a .fdi file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="volume.label" string="my_label">
      <match key="volume.fstype" string="ext3">
        <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.acl" type="bool">true</merge>
        <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.user_xattr" type="bool">true</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

and lshal shows the options acl and user_xattr for my device with
"my_label" correctly. But still the device gets mounted w/o these
options. (Both on debian with gnome-volume-manager and SuSE with subfs
mount).
