Ivman hal dbus problem

Question

I tried automount and this with the packages from current and extra
when starting ivman I get this:
libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/lib/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
** (process:3869): WARNING **: manager.c/656: Failed to initialize HAL!
if I start hal it seems to start but later does not have a process so I think it stops again:
12:08:17.822 [I] hald.c:394: hal 0.4.7
12:08:17.823 [I] hald.c:396: Will daemonize
12:08:17.823 [I] hald.c:406: Becoming a daemon
ps ax|grep hal shows me nothing
finally dbus:
dbus gets started at boottime and has this lines when I ps for it:
3746 tty1     S      0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
3747 ?        Ss     0:00 dbus-daemon-1 --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address 6
so somehow some kind of dbus is running but hal can't connect to it so ivman wont start.
I could not find any information about this problem.
any help appreciated
thanks

Hi
I got some other problem hal related
It was running since weeks without problems..automounting usb, cd etc.
since the latest update, where hal and dbus was updated some very very strange things happen.
After fresh start I had normally 77 processes running, mounting was ok etc.
Now...after a restart I got 150 processes running increasing every few seconds.
After a minute or so I got 280. 200 are hal and hotlug.hal related.
and the Hard Drive and CPU is always showing actibities. never happened before.
...and  automounting isn´t working anymore too.
What is this?
