The problem that pmount does not find UUID/LABEL mounts is already known, as you pointed out. Thanks a lot for your code contribution to fix this!
However, pmount is *designed* to not mount static fixed hard disk partitions for security reasons. It works pretty hard to ensure that the device to be mounted is indeed removable, otherwise the user could easily mess up system partitions, peek in other /home directories, etc.
The latter problem needs to be addressed in a different way, we'll talk about this on the next conference:
