OK this is fixed :) seems like pmount 0.9.13 is not able to work
together with hal 0.5.8.1. You need to remove a certain line in the
src/pmount-hal.c file (somewhere around line 360) : 
dbus_connection_close( dbus_conn );
just delete that line, recompile pmount and everything seems to work
just fine :)
