[Solved][Hal and Partitions] Newbie problem with hal policy

Hello everybody,

As a new user of archlinux for less than a week I have experienced a great distribution after having been for 1 year on Linux.
After installation I was able to solve most of my problems with the wiki and the forums but there is one problem I cannot resolve.

I have installed Kde 4.2 on my computer and I can mount Usb drives, or CDs with hal (It is in the daemons section of my rc.conf) but strangely I cannot access my other partitions such as my Ubuntu partition (ext3), or the family's Windows partition (Nfts). I have installed nfts-3g for the nfts partition hal refuses to let me access it, I will give you what Dolphin says when I try to access the Nfts:

org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options no <-- (actions,result)

And for the ext3

org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: hal-storage-mount-fixedauth_admin_keep_always <-- (actions,result)

I don't really understand what It means but normally I am allowed to mount partitions.
My /etc/PolycyKit/PolicyKit.conf: http://pastebin.com/m57e94025
And my /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf: http://pastebin.com/m62861179

I've already tried to configure these two with the wiki and the forums but nothing yet.

If you need more information ask me.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to reread the Hal wiki re: Permission Denied with automounter.  Your /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf seems to be missing the lines mentioned in the wiki.

Edit: Or maybe it is similair to: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66008
