Getting hal to invoke callouts

[Phillip Susi]

Please read what you quoted me as saying: "I have made sure that the 
script is world executable, and set my home directory to be world writable."

I'm not sure why it wasn't executing but it started to do so, and yes, I 
found that it is being run with uid = hal and NO groups, even though 
hald itself is running with groups = hal, floppy, cdrom, and plugdev ( 
according to /proc ).  I am not sure why the callout is not inheriting 
the groups that the daemon is in, but that seems to be a bug.
