Does not sound like a big surprise.  AFAIK gnome-mount, or hal, or
both got broken in November last year and remain in that state.
Have a look at

I did not see any further changes with that so far.  That bug has
still a status NEW.  The only recent alteration I am aware of is
that hald started to bomb out with "general protection".
