You want to create a file in /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy with this
content (filename needs to end in .fdi; you might want to call it my-
usb-harddisk.fdi)
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.is_volume" bool="true">
<match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
<match key="volume.uuid" string="4150-3F34">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset=cp950" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.codepage=cp950" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
and replace 4150-3F34 with the UUID of the filesystem on the usb device
in question. You may use either lshal or hal-device-manager (from the
hal-gnome package) to check what UUID to use. You may also want to check
on other properties than the uuid; e.g. perhaps use label.
Hope this helps,
