I suggest that this is the wrong direction. I have a SanDisk e250 that 
is mounted by HAL without difficulty. I assume that HAL is running; if 
not, perhaps that is the problem. (I'm also running Gnome, but I 
suspect that that's irrelevant.) 

Mount shows this: 
/dev/sdb1 on /media/Sansa e250 type vfat 
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,shortname=winnt,uid=501)

This might be useful as well:

I also added the following stanza to  
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi
