I searched trhough the forums and tried various suggestions. None of them worked.

Look at the HAL page in the wiki. especially the TroubleShooting section. you will have to create the policykit files for it to work. Also make sure you username is in the storage group.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Try adding this to your PolicyKit.conf:
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>

Can you copy/paste here your /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf ?
I`m asking becouse you need to copy
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
<!-- for internal devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
<!-- for external devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>
betwen <config> </config> and not under </config> (like me and was wondering why that won`t work ).

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
And this one ? Add it on the begining. I even don`t have these three in my .conf and HAL works great:
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
Don`t remove it just try to add on the begining that one I told you. If that won`t work (and I think it will) try to remove these three and leave only those three I wrote in my prev post.
