"Volume management not supported" error when attempting to run Removable Drives and Media

Hello,
I've recently upgraded this machine to gnome2-2.16.1_2 (as of yesterday), and I noticed that
I get the following error message when attempting to use the menu program Removable Drives
and Media:

Volume management not supported

The "hald" service is required but not currently running. Enable the service and rerun this
application, or contact your system administrator.

Note: You need sysutils/hal installed for volume management to work.

However, checking for what the message informs me I need to have running, here's what I've
got installed and running at the time the error was displayed:

Here's what I've got installed for those apps currently:

Information for hal-0.5.8.20061030_2:
Comment:
Hardware Abstraction Layer for simplifying device access

Information for dbus-0.94_1:
Comment:
A message bus system for inter-application communication

Information for dbus-glib-0.72:
Comment:
GLib bindings for the D-BUS messaging system

Additionally, I've added the following to /etc/rc.conf as per
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19:

dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
