thats no hal problem at all, please see
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs/+bug/50554
we fixed it in edgy (ubuntu 6.10) when we added local device support for
ltsp, the patch is supposed to be sent upstream as well so gnome-vfs2
will behave properly in the future even on other distros and only show
the user devices he/she has access to.
