Unmount usb storage in Konquer/kde desktop


I am having problems with unmounting usb store media via konqueror system:/media or via the icons for the devices on the desktop.

I do not think it is a permission problem given that I can unmount these devices as a normal user via kwickdisk and the command line.

Also if I create a manal link to the device on the desktop, then I can moutn and unmount the device.

I just did an entire dist-upgrade last night and this is the result, prior to this it was working (i think).

Is anyone else having this problem, or do you have any solutions. I have included my fstab, although I do not see anything wrong with it.

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda3       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/hda2       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 users,noauto     0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 users,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/sda1       /media/sda1      vfat    noauto,users,exec,umask=0000  0 0
/dev/sdb1       /media/sdb1      vfat    noauto,users,exec,umask=0000 0 0
Given the fact that I can unmount via the kuickdisk application, command line and via making the links on the desktop manually I figure it is a problem with the kde packages and not my config, what doy uo think?

Michael.
