No. g-v-m passes "" as the mount point when mounting volumes (e.g. in
the case where gnome-mount is not installed on the system). This (from
what I understand) makes the hal mount script figure out what it should
use as the mount point itself (which may or may not use the policy key
mentioned above, I have no idea).
