Hah, my gut feeling was right. sdb1 has the wrong group, so hal cannot read the
device.

Ah, right, I updated the page; In Breezy, --drop-privileges doesn't exist any
more (it's the default), and there is now a --retain-privileges switch. Anyway,
we have to debug udev now, which seems to be the actual cause of that bug.
If the device is plugged in, can you please do:
sudo sh -x /etc/udev/scripts/removable.sh sdb > removable-sdb.txt 2>&1
sudo sh -x /etc/udev/scripts/removable.sh sdb1 > removable-sdb1.txt 2>&1
and attach removable-sdb.txt and removable-sdb1.txt here?
