Dolphin can't mount NTFS and VFAT32 (SD memory cards) partitions

I have this problem with Dolphin in this fresh new Arch x64 install I haven't before installing everything again.

Every time I need to mount a partition, name it the other Windows partition I have or the SD card I have the following error:

"There was an error while accesing to 'Hard disk 44.6 GiB', system answered: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call",sender=":1.23" [uid=1001 pid=9070 comm="/usr/bin/dolphin) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="[unset]" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" [uid=0 pid=3690 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))"

It seems there's a problem with DBus (KNetworkManager also have problems with DBus), but DBus daemon is loading okay at boot: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal network netfs crond alsa ufw cups kdm)

whatever, I can mount all the partitions without problem when run Dolphin with root rigths ($ kdesu dolphin), I already tried to add my user to "disks" and "dbus" group -I know it's not the best practice, but wanna try- but nothing works.

Any idea?

Are your user in 'storage' group?: Yes I am

You made it? It's cool, can I use it a bit more!?

HAL is the problem. I found the answer to this issue in this post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96792.
Go directly to Arch HAl wiki to solve it: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … ite_access
