Could you please attach this file.

I'm not so sure yet. Imho the desktop should set the policy and not hal.

E.g. under GNOME resp. with gnome-mount mounting ntfs partitions rw with 
ntfs-3g seem to work fine. So I'm wondering if it's not just a problem 
of KDE, not passing the correct mount flags to hal.
