Unable to mount removable device.

Hi,

Just plugged my Archos media player in.  The icon appeared on the xfce desktop, but I can't read it.  I get this error message, anyone know how to overcome it?

Unable to mount "A604":

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)

Thanks,

Chris.

Read the troubleshooting section in the HAL entry of the wiki, in particular the PolicyKit stuff.
