Followed the guide? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page
If so, maybe try removing the packages, and reinstall the whole HAL deal.

Re: Hal fales after update

Do a search after you have uninstalled HAL:

$ sudo find / -name *hal*

Maybe there are some leftovers.

Re: Hal fales after update

I am having a similar issue that is due to the recent hal/policykit update.
The user has permissions to mount filesystems via the storage group and through policykit.
