[ale] udev issues

[Geoffrey]

I had udev automounting my usb devices when they were plugged in under 
fedora.  I'm running Mandriva on this box now and using the same rules, 
the drives don't mount.  It looks like it's trying to run the right 
command, but mount is returning failure with a usage error.  With debug 
I see:
