All I can say (I don't use Gnome and Nautilus to be more helpful with the specifics) is that there is a difference between mounting a device via hal and mounting it manually. I recall that you can't mix the two - when I tried it on my machine (using Konqueror) it wouldn't work. I think hal complained, but can't recall off hand. -- Regards, Mick
