Dolphin in 4.4 Betas 1&2 +final Fails to mount internal drives other than root

[Shaved Wookie]

Binary package hint: dolphin

I have a couple of drives other than the root one. Dolphin in KDE 4.3.4 mounted
them with a single click on the "Places" icon. Since updating to the 4.4 Beta 1
(and subsequently 4.4 Beta 2) packages though, if I try and mount them, dolphin
complains for example:

An error occurred while accessing '88.7 GiB Hard Drive', the system responded:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Refusing to mount device
/dev/sdb3 for uid=1000

The root drive (ie "Home" in places) always works fine. I have an EXT4 volume
connected over IDE and an NTFS volume connected over SATA. Both give the error
above, albeit with a different drive name. My 8gig fat32 usb stick seems to
mount fine, and everything worked before the upgrade to 4.4 Beta.

TECH SPECS:
Kubuntu Lucid AMD64
KDE 4.4 Beta 1 (and now beta 2)
Dolphin 1.3.80
Kubuntu packages

same issue
kubuntu 10.04 alpha 2 KDE 4.4.00 dolphin 1.4

same issue
also kubuntu 10.04 alpha 2 KDE 4.4 dolphin 1.4, latest updates (2010-02-24)

but mounting an usb harddisk with ntfs, which is recognized by the device notifier, works!

Yeah, the problem only seems to surface on internally mounted disks. External USB disks work fine for me too. KDE's "Removable Devices" tool in System Settings also fails to mount these disks.
