>Description:
My 7.0-CURRENT has been rebuilt just today.  My ports are updated as well.  Here is the problem:  

I have a 320 GB IDE hard drive formatted with ext3 inside of a NexStar3 External 3.5" USB2.0 hard drive enclosure.  I can mount this device from the command line with no problems.

However, when I try to mount in GNOME or Xfce, hal/dbus won't mount it.  I have rebuilt gnome-volume-manager, hal, and dbus with debugging symbols but they don't provide any additional information.  Bug-buddy does not come up.

When I try to mount from within GNOME, a pop-up box appears that states:

Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError.

and under "Details" it simply says:

An unexpected error occurred.

dmesg gives me this:

umass0: <vendor 0x04b4 Cypress AT2+LP, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.40, addr 2> on uhub4
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0

da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 305245MB (625142448 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 38913C)

usbdevs -v shows this:

I tried doing the same thing on a 6.2-STABLE machine with the same results.  If there is any more information I can provide, or ports I can rebuild to test things out, please let me know.

Mount NexStar3 in Gnome or Xfce.
