OK. It looks like a race condition of some sort. I'll send the verbose
hald log with annotations shortly, but I can confirm that the version
I was running after applying your patch and the one in ports are
identical.

If I plug in the disk and start Gnome, all is well. (Yea!)
If I unmount the disk file systems, unplug the disk, and plug it back
in, nothing happens, though hald does log a lot and clearly sees the
insertion.
Then I do an 'fsck_msdosfs /dev/da0s2' and both drives mount, but I
have two errors, one my favorite "unknown error" and the other that
the first FS can't be mounted. But it is. Both are mounted, but I
can't unmount the first FS (da0s1) because no entry was made in
/media/.hal-mtab for that FS. The other one unmountes fine and, if I
manually add an entry for the first FS, it unmounts, as well, but
reports failure because it says that it could not delete the directory
(/media/MUSICBACKUP). It also does not seem to delete the entry from
/media/.hal-mtab.

I will shortly annotate the verbose output from hald and send it off,
but I don't have time ATM.
