By the way,
- gnome-volume-manager mounts the volume automagically, even
without the storage.removable attribute
- After a bit of digging around, I found this bit, I don't know if it
is relevant:

-------
Most USB devices aren't removable. Not in the HAL sense of the
word at least. They are however hotpluggable, which the device is
correctlymarked as.

* Removable: Media can be removed but device node remains.
* Hotpluggable: Media cannot be removed without making the device node
disappear.

Removable devices in Linux are things like floppys and cdroms. Most
other things are hotpluggable.
