/etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules tries to run /usr/libexec/hal-unmount.sh which doesn't exist. Instead, the HAL package installs /usr/libexec/hal-unmount.dev. This results in the following error in the syslog: [udevd-event] run_program: exec of program '/usr/libexec/hal-unmount.sh' failed Renaming hal-unmount.sh to hal-unmount.dev fixes the problem. So does editting 90-hal.rules.
