I wonder whether hal.rules should use 'plugdev' as group for pluggable
devices, i.e.

BUS="scsi",KERNEL="sd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k 
'usb ieee1394'", RESULT="1", MODE="0640", GROUP="plugdev"
# BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh  
%k 'usb ieee1394'", RESULT="1", MODE="0640", GROUP="plugdev"

instead of 

BUS="scsi",KERNEL="sd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k 
'usb ieee1394'", RESULT="1", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal"
# BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh  
%k 'usb ieee1394'", RESULT="1", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal".

For gnome users (pmount in use) nautilus complains after any volume that
is unmounted that it cannot access the device, e.g. /dev/sda1 ... the
user of course has to be in group 'plugdev' to make pmount work so that
would fix the problem too... 

However I am not sure whether putting 'plugdev' here makes any sense or
even whether it is safe to put the user in the 'hal' group...
