gnome-mount/hal/PK not working together

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

I have a fixed NTFS partition that I'm trying to mount.  I am using PK
0.9, hal-0.5.11, and gnome-mount-0.8.  When I try to mount this volume
in either Nautilus or with gnome-mount directly, I get the pop-up asking
me for my password, I enter it, but the volume does not mount.  However,
my access policy is properly added, and visible in
polkit-gnome-authorization.

When I run gnome-mount manually, I see these messages:

** (gnome-mount:42805): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_48F030E3F030D940

Hal is hard-coded to see "yes" coming back from PK.  I can make fixed
mounting work if I change the default console policy to "Yes", but this
is not exactly desirable.

Since I'm not the only FreeBSD user seeing this, I was wondering if our
PK port was perhaps broken in some way.  Can anyone (David, maybe) point
me to something to check in our port, or is this a known limitation with
gnome-mount right now?
