Come to think of it, it couldn't have been the module. Old udev loaded
it automatically, it was there all the time, I could still mount the
volumes by hand. Now that i've 'migrated' have to specify the module
in the new modules file or modprobe it manually. But I can still mount
the volumes and execute commands.
