Here is a hal rule I've put in my preferences.fdi which works for me in my case where I have an external esata drive plugged into a esata cardbus adapter in my laptop. I think it should work for anyone in a similar situation.
Note that you have to either put it before, or comment out the other entry in the preferences.fdi that prevents automounting internal drives. I'll attach the full /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi.
