Maybe this will help. It will mount under /media though.

I didn't want to tinker with any of the default HALD settings. So, if
you just drop this in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ your ntfs
drives should be automounted (provided you have NTFS support).
Thanks, Mostafa. My MS Windows partition is fat32 formatted.
Then you just need to change the options accordingly.
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" int="0x07">
will probably become
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" int="0x0b">
or if you use LBA
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" int="0x0c">
Also, you will want to change the 'umask', 'ro', and other options as
you see fit.
Thanks again, Mostafa.

A simpler fix (IMHO) is to add a line like this to your /etc/fstab
/dev/hdc5 /media/windows vfat
pamconsole,users,exec 0 0
Just change the /dev/hdc5 to wherever your vfat partition is located.
This will do what you want though it is slightly less elegant, as the
hal fixes will autofind any vfat partitions you make.
