Whenever I plug in a usb-device, it always say:
Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.
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")
No idea of what it is saying....
by the way, hotplugging is already enabled and the usb device works well in Windows.

Make /etc/PolicyKit.conf look like this and try again:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->
<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"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>
</config>

Oh crap. I may have gone too far too fast. Are you in the storage group?

I don't know...
It's a laptop and I am the main user(actually the only user except root...).
Edit: I am using Gnome.

There's some groups that you should be in or you're going to keep having problems like this. For now, add optical and storage as root. You may need video and audio also.
gpasswd -a <your_user_name> optical
gpasswd -a <your_user_name> storage

It's good to know. but it's still not working....
Anyway, it's not a big deal. Thanks for your help
Edit: After several rebooting, it works now. Thanks a lot!
