dbus error when trying to play dvd

i get this message when I try to watch a dvd with totem:

A security policy 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")

I've seen this before and cant remember what I did to get rid of it.  I have a clean install of Arch and I am memver of the optical group.  Also, its strange because I'm able to rip a copy of the dvd but not play it.
