Bug Description

I've got a USB drive with several partitions connected to my laptop. Although,
Ubuntu detects the device and its partitions, it fails to mount it automatically.

I've tracked the problem down to pmount. This is what I get when i try to pmount
manually:

        xxx@yyyyyy:~$ pmount -d /dev/sda2

        resolved /dev/sda2 to device /dev/sda2
        mount point to be used: /media/sda2
        no iocharset given, current locale encoding is UTF-8

        find_sysfs_device: checking whether device /dev/sda2 matches partition 8:2
        find_sysfs_device: -> partition matches, belongs to block device

It seems the problem it's got to do with the type "-t udf". Actually, I can
mount this partition manually, as follows:

        xxx@yyyyyy:~$ pmount -d -t ext3 /dev/sda2

        resolved /dev/sda2 to device /dev/sda2
        mount point to be used: /media/sda2
        no iocharset given, current locale encoding is UTF-8

        find_sysfs_device: checking whether device /dev/sda2 matches partition 8:2
        find_sysfs_device: -> partition matches, belongs to block device
/sys/block/sda
        device_removable: corresponding block device for /dev/sda2 is /sys/block/sda

        policy check passed
        attempting mount: executing '/bin/mount -t ext3 -o
rw,nodev,noauto,nosuid,user,sync,atime,noexec /dev/sda2 /media/sda2'
        mount attempt terminated with status 0

PS: During the installation, using the hoary-rc-install-i386 cd, the USB drive
was detected and mounted perfectly.
It stopped working after an upgrade on April, 1st.

Tonight, on April 5th, after updating my usb drive is mounted automatically
again. Therefore, I beleive that the new version of pmount 0.7.2-0ubuntu1 solves
this problem.

This is the output I get now:
