I can mount it manually, but I have noticed something that might help
(I'm not sure, as I'm not a developper, I don't understand all those
messages but maybe...).
I was curiose to see what was in that hal.log file, so I searched the
line corresponding to my key and I saw this part :
15:59:46.993 [D] hald_dbus.c:2528:
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_04_01_09_U_storage_24438A3FFE066C08
15:59:46.993 [I] hald_dbus.c:2554: AddonIsReady on udi

15:59:47.021 [I] osspec.c:737: hal_util_find_known_parent:
'/sys/block/sdc/sdc1'->'/sys/block/sdc'
So, even if I don't understand many things in those messages, I know that my
key is usually detected as (on dapper and edgy) "storage_serial_04_01_09_U".
As I saw this "DEVPATH=/sys/block/sdc/sdc1, DEVNAME=/dev/sdc1, IFINDEX=0", I
though that I had to write this in a terminal to mount it :
sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sdc1 /home/vince/Desktop/az/
Then I had some error messages (french) :
mount: type erroné de système de fichiers, option erronée, super bloc erroné
sur /dev/sdc1,
codepage manquante ou autre erreur
(tentez-vous de monter une partition étendue,
au lieu d'une partition logique à l'intérieur?)
Dans quelques cas certaines informations sont utiles dans syslog -
essayez
dmesg | tail ou quelque chose du genre
So I did dmesg | tail in a terminal and it answered :
~$ dmesg | tail
[19449.005620] sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
[19449.017569] SCSI device sdc: 512000 512-byte hdwr sectors (262 MB)

[19513.917456] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
[19513.917467] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdc1.
Finally, I though (and was right) that the correct command was :
sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sdc5 /home/vince/Desktop/az/
So maybe hal detects the wrong device (/dev/sdc1) instead of the correct one
(/dev/sdc5)
Hope that helps. I don't know if my way of thinking was logical.
