Not really.

hal < 0.5.12 uses either static groups (plugdev/netdev/powerdev) to control
access to the D-Bus service, or the at_console policy (which is provided by
consolekit).
My guess is, that your user wasn't part of the plugdev group, and consolekit
"fixed" that by providing at_console.

The new version of hal will use PolicyKit, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore
and thunar-volman does not need to add any dependency.

Cheers,
Michael
