HAL, PolicyKit and writing to ntfs (internal) volumes

Question

Hello,
   I have problems writing to internal (ie fixed) ntfs partitions, but I can write to external ones, since the hal update. I've been trying to follow the wiki and posts such as this one, and I've got external (usb) ntfs drives working fine.
   The strangest thing is that altough I can't create a new folder or file within the internal ntfs partitions, I can at least delete some files and folders.
   No matter what I do, mount has never reported the internal ntfs partitions as mounted with type 'fuseblk', they are always mounted as 'ntfs' (not 'ntfs-3g'...)
   My current 20-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
<merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">uid=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">gid=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">umask=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">dmask=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">fmask=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">locale=</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">utf8</append>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
and my PolicyKit.conf:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->
<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">
<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->
<config version="0.1">
<match user="fede">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options"> <!-- for internal devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options"> <!-- for external devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>
</match>
</config>
I've also tried many similar variations on these config files (starting with those listed in the post linked above & the wiki), to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here's snippit of my policykit:
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
I did some fiddling with it, and until I had the above I couldn't mount my internal vfat or ntfs HDDs...the catch being with thie above fix, my Quickaccess widget on KDEmod is b0rked now....oh, well-win some loose some.
