hal not mounting my keydrive correcly


i have an 8G usb keydrive set with 2 partitions (512M as ext2 and 7.5G as vfat)

plugging this into my opensuse 11 desktop it automounts both partitions and is useable.

on my netbook (acer aspire one running ubuntu 8.10 beta) the ext2 partition mounts fine, the fat one gives me the error

Code:
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
i can mount it fine manually but then i cant write to it as a normal user, as its set to root ownership and i cant chown it


any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Ummm.. that's not very helpful and if you didn't notice, we have an Ubuntu specific forum here, which the thread was moved to.
