All,
I Seem to be having some issues getting a secondary drive (Hotswap) to mount at boot & be available on a headless server. When I try to access it via Xming on my windows machine I get the following error text:
"Cannot mount volume. error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied." Details ~> "A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")"
So I started peeking arround...
test@Computer:~$ df -h

is what I get when Im ssh'd in remotely, and below is my origional fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1

/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
When I login to the box locally & open the volume from Places ~> 1000.2 GB Media, it comes right up as expected & I can access it as expected from XMing at this point as well, however upon rebooting it reverts back to the previous behavior.
When someone IS Logged in Locally, below are my results for df -h after going to Places ~> 1000.2 GB Media (df -h output doesnt seem to change untill I try to open it in the GUI Locally)
test@Computer:~$ df -h

That being said, Ive made changes in System ~> Authorization ~> Storage ~> Mount file systems from removeable (and internal) drives with Implicit Authorizations to yes, yes, yes. Rebooted, same results, did a sudo mount -a, and still same results, went into System ~> Authorization ~> Storage ~> Mount file systems from removeable (and internal) drives & specified either a test user of mine or root and it seems as though it mounts as expected for the duration of the session, once rebooted behavior seems to be the same of the message from org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Also of some note, is then when Im Xming'd into this target headless box & doing Explicit authorizations, the Grant button is greyed out? & also the root account doesnt seem to show itself in the Explicit Auth. field for some strange reason)
Please let me know if you need any further information...
Thanks,

The issue appears to all removable storage devices..
Mounting the drive using sudo works fine.
Here is my /etc/dbus-
I use Kubuntu Hardy, KDE 3.5.9
