This works fine for me; I just committed some changes a while ago, you might
want to cvs update. If it still doesn't work please include the output of
'HALD_VERBOSE=1 hald --daemon=no' when you unmount/mount the disc. Either way,
let me know.

I use /udev for udev. Maybe it's important.
The cd/dvd is shown correctly under my drive but it's marked as non-mounted,
even if it's mounted. So gnome-volume-manager can't find the mount-point and
fail to start my dvd-player :-(.

I use the cvs-version. udev and d-bus both are the newest version.

I need more debug information, sorry; it should look like this when mounting the
cdrom:

18:22:24.019 [I] linux/block_class_device.c:2188: Directory /etc changed
18:22:24.247 [I] linux/block_class_device.c:2102: /etc/mtab changed, processing
all block devices
18:22:24.348 [I] linux/block_class_device.c:1981: /dev/hdd is mounted at
/media/dvdrom, major:minor=22:64, fstype=udf,
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_SOLARIS

and like this when unmounting it:

18:22:31.878 [I] linux/block_class_device.c:2188: Directory /etc changed
18:22:31.878 [I] linux/block_class_device.c:2102: /etc/mtab changed, processing
all block devices

Also post (as an attachment please) the output of lshal.

I found the error: if you start hald with "--daemon=no", the mentioned
properties are updated correctly and gnome-volume-manager works too. But if you
start hald as a daemon, the properties aren't updated.

Good catch, thanks. I've fixed this in CVS but now we daemonize as the very
first thing and make the parent exit; I probably need to setup a pipe to make
the child tell the parent when probing has completed and exit at that point.

I've now setup the pipe so the parents exit is deferred until all device probing
is done; just like before the fix, but now with the advantage that it actually
works. It's in CVS.
