(Solved) New Arch User dealing with an iPod (Unable to mount devices)

I just installed Arch, installed GNOME and Songbird 1 from AUR.

WHen i connect the ipod to the USB, i get an error... i think i dont have enough permissions for mounting and unmounting the devices.. and actually, automounting is not working.... what should i do?

Actually, the error message is:

Cannot mount volume.

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.

Details:
A security olicy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

Thanks!

Put

"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
</config>

in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

Don't forget to restart in order to get it working if you have to modify the PolicyKit.
