for comparison:

I get:oddman ~ # portageq owners / /usr/lib64/libhal.so.1.0.0
sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8
	/usr/lib64/libhal.so.1.0.0

emerge hal works perfectly

I can create and delete files in /media.

I currently have a usb hard drive and a cd automounted in gnome, ls -l
shows

oddman ~ # ls -l /media
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 7 1032 users 2048 Jul  7  2008 Gentoo Linux 2008.0 amd64

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root   104 Apr 14 12:12 disk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  1024 Apr 14 12:19 disk-1
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root  1536 Dec 31  1969 disk-2

I have emerged dbus and hal and installed dbus and hald in the default
run level years ago.
I have evdev support in the kernel and in make.conf.
