mounting floppy fails from nautilus...

Hello,

This is a Suse 10.1 mystery I've been looking into:

Clicking the floppy icon in Nautilus popped up an error dialog that
said:

Method 'mount' with signature 'ssas' on interface
'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume' doesn't exist

After searching on that for a while (a loooong while), I edited the
file:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf

changing "deny" to "allow" for all the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device
entries.

I restarted the hal and dbus daemons.

Then clicking the floppy icon in Nautilus pops up an error dialog
that says:

Mount failed
Could not create dbus message
>show more details
mount

Mounting the floppy drive manually using the 'mount' command works,
the /etc/fstab entry is normal...

I'm stumped!

Anyone?
