8 Sounds like the "bug" in hald. Open
9 /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi and
10 change the only occurence of "user" into "users". This
11 should help.

15 PS: If your USB pen is quite slow, you want to change the
16 sync-option from true to false (well, then you can't see the
17 transfer-rate, but with sync set it was terrible slow and
18 only tiny snippets were transferred with one move).
