Probably, yes. It's just that I can't really verify what's wrong. I've
D-BUS 1.0.1, D-BUS GLib bindings 0.72 and HAL 0.5.8.1 installed on my
system (Lunar Linux, so none of the original config files - like
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf - were modified).

Now if I start D-BUS and HAL and try to mount something, I get this
"... is not provided by any .service files" error message. After that,
hald isn't running anymore. This is what happens as root. Now if I set
up D-BUS to give normal users access to some HAL-related D-BUS
services, like you suggested to Samuel in his bug report, I get exactly
the same error.

I know the package versions are pretty much bleeding edge as Lunar
isn't bound to fixed package release cycles, but nonetheless I'd love
to be able to get some more debugging information out of
Thunar/HAL/D-BUS to find a fix for this annoyance. After all, I
remember that it worked before exo-mount was introduced.
