minimal graphic install not mounting usb device

English Hardware
1

I just installed openSUSE 12.1 with the minimum graphic display and switched my default window manager from TWM to icewm.

I can’t mount /dev/sdb automatically or with pmount.

my ~/.xintrc

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch icewm-session

my /etc/pmount.allow

# /etc/pmount.allow
# pmount will allow users to additionally mount all devices that are
# listed here.
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1

my /etc/pmount.conf

# System-wide configuration file for pmount(1)
#
# All the variables that can be defined in this file take the values
# yes or no. yes always means greater potential security risks.

# If fsck_allow is true, then any user can ask pmount to run fsck on
# the filesystem before it is mounted using the --fsck option. In
# principle, it is relatively safe to turn it on.
fsck_allow = no

# Alternatively, you can only allow it for specific groups or users:
# 
# fsck_allow_group = floppy,cdrom
# fsck_allow_user = root
#
# Or say yes for fsck_allow but deny its use to some users:
# fsck_deny_user = malicious,and,evil,users


# If not_physically_logged_allow is true, then users don't need to be
# attached to a real TTY for using pmount and pumount. This used to be
# the default for older releases of pmount.
not_physically_logged_allow = no

# As above you can fine-tune the users that can or cannot use pmount
# without being physically logged in using
# not_physically_logged_allow_user, not_physically_logged_allow_group
# and not_physically_logged_deny_user

# If loop_allow is true, then users can mount personal files using
# loopback devices.
#
# DO NOT USE IT ON ANYTHING ELSE THAN A PERSONAL MACHINE !
#
# Although every care has been taken to ensure that a user cannot use
# pmount with loopback devices to bypass file permissions, a user can
# nevertheless tamper with the mounted filesystem, which may expose
# kernel vulnerabilities.
# loop_allow = no

# As above, you can fine-tune with loop_allow_user, loop_allow_group,
# loop_deny_user.

loop_allow_user = chris

# If you want to allow users to mount loopback devices, you should
# also specify here a comma-separated list of whitelisted loop devices
# that the users can use. pmount will not losetup other devices, so
# you may want to keep some to avoid loop exhaustion.
  loop_devices = /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1

my /etc/polkit-default-privs-local

I realize that HAL is depreciated.

I tried running udisks-glue.

my ~/.udisks-glue.conf

 filter disks {
           optical = false
           partition_table = false
           usage = filesystem
       }

       match disks {
           automount = true
           automount_options = sync
           post_mount_command = "mount-notify mounted %device_file %mount_point"
           post_unmount_command = "mount-notify unmounted %device_file %mount_point"
       }

not_physically_logged_allow = yes

in /etc/pmount.conf
