I'm using a similar setup, but matching the partitions on the external USB
disk using
  <match key="info.parent" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">
and then for every partition
  <match key="volume.partition.number" int="XXXXXXXX">

The <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point"> part works perfectly,
but I didn't find a way to avoid the annoying "sync" mount option: tried
 <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge>
with no effect.

The sync option kills the writing speed of the disk: from >20MB/s to 2MB/s.

I'm still trying to like this automatic mounting stuff: at the moment it's
more annoying than useful.
There are many heavily configurable parts involved in the process:
udev, hal, KDE/GNOME. A good "all-inclusive" documentation is still
missing, as far as I've found around.

Best regards.
