This problem is still present with hal-0.5.10-0.git20070925.fc8 and hal-info-20070925-1.fc8. What's the current status of this? The fix looks easy according to the Ubuntu bug. This problem seems minor but it's really annoying since Rhythmbox always tries to scan the drive and prevents it from being unmounted.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
I don't have this USB drive anymore so I'm unable to test it, however Ubuntu has a fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/90286/comments/23 Not sure if this made it into our hal-info package.
I'm closing this since as I mentioned I can't test this bug exists anymore.
