So adding sudo to the kdeeject file was no satisfying solution, I took 
the source code and did some readings. Finally I found the media kio 
slave in kdebase. A little reading in hal and dbus and the 
halbackend.cpp I tried to code myself. today I got it working. May be 
this is of some interest to someone. I attached the patch to svn KDE 
3.5 branch (branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/kioslave/media) from about 
beginnig of july.
