I just updated HAL with the option on myself and it seems to be working here 
for both my CD-ROM drive and my mp3 portable:

/dev/cd1 on /media/cd1 (cd9660, local, noexec, nosuid, read-only)
/dev/da0 on /media/da0 (msdosfs, local, noexec, nosuid)

Perhaps one of the three daemons just wasn't running or there was a DBUS 
communication problem when you tried.
