Interestingly the first time I plug the key in it works, it's only after I've unmounted and then try and mount it again, then the above message appears and all USB activity stops and the haldaemon goes into an uninterruptable sleep and only a reboot seems to cure it. Disabling the daemon gives me back the old behaviour of mounting the key manually and continues to work no matter how many times I plug/unplug. As you say with the haldaemon locking up I wonder if its a kernel bug.
