I haven't used the combo of hal+dbus+gnome-volume-manager. But I have used dbus+hal+ivman. You can get the ebuild at www.breakmygentoo.net or included with the regular download at ivman.sourceforge.net.
You have to have the proper lines in /etc/fstab as well, or else it won't know what to mount where. For example I couldn't get my cdrom to automount until I changed my cdrom line to this...
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
before i had /dev/cdrom or something like that and it didn't work. I'd suggest reading around the hal and dbus configuration files in addition to whatever you use to configure gnome-volume-manager. |

You shoulnt ever change fstab to get ivman runing. Just edit /etc/ivman/IvmConfigMappings.xml, read the comments, and add a convenient mappings line.
Beware: the line which is already in there is commented out, so dont just alter it if you want to create a mapping, also uncomment it!!!

Where on bmg? I sync the bmg-main on a daily basis, and don't have it.
The ebuild in the tarball I got from SF.net seems to be segfaulting on me too.

This is a few days ago, not tried v0.3 yet.
And yes, dbus and hal are both uptodate cvs and happy.
When I get some time to have a play, I will mail you, I got the address of the hal/utopia mailing lists.
As I said before I'm intrested in helping get the usb parts working if I can, and if I can find some time!!
The public key link in my sig also holds my email address if your intrested.

I'm certainly interested
Got an sf.net account? There are some small things I'm thinking of related to USB stuff, so I guess we should talk a bit first (design and stuff)...
Feel free to email me!
