There's some interaction with ConsoleKit to ensure that the removable
storage is tied to a specific session so that the logged-in user can
actually modify their USB drive.  Otherwise it's only accessible to
'root'.

So yes, something *else* (HAL, udisks, etc) actually handles the
mounting, but there's some other components involved in permissions and
mount location, and that's where ConsoleKit helps out.
