Hi,
i've the same versions of gentoo-sources,dbus&hal +sys-apps/ivman-0.6.9.
 eix ivman
* sys-apps/ivman
     Available versions:  0.5_pre2 0.5_pre3 0.6.4 0.6.5 0.6.6 0.6.8
0.6.9
     Installed:           0.6.9
     Homepage:            http://ivman.sf.net
     Description:         Daemon to mount/unmount devices, based on info
from HAL
IMO you should also install ivman which will install 'pmount', as dep.
Check that all daemons are started.
