Description:
Earlier today there was an update of the kernel (3.0.6-2). Since then I can't mount any external devices (usb devices etc.). Seems like the media directory is complete gone and I error the error when automounting a device "Error creating mount point: No such file or directory". Manual mount works if I choose my own directory... like /mnt/ or similar.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Cannot reproduce this, i think you have a problem with dbus or your mount helpers.

Well, I got fixed by simply recreating the media directory again (mkdir media) and now I can mount all my external devices again. I haven't done anything to dbus other than the update (I think) that came out a few days ago. I removed hal from my system recently since I wasn't using it anymore.
