I'm using KDE. When I plug in a vfat-formatted USB stick KDE tries to mount it, 
but Konqueror displays an error box with this message:

 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing 
 codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - 
 try dmesg | tail or so

In the output of dmesg I find the following lines, the last indicating the 
error:

Mounting the stick as root with the mount command works.

The problems disappears when line 155 in 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi
is commented out:
