I just had this very same problem :-). For HAL CVS, you'll need g-v-m
0.9.4 or later as some HAL API changed. There's no tarballs for any
release later than 0.9.2 at

 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-volume-manager/0.9/

yet, so you might want to bother Robert for one. According to the
ChangeLog the latest release is 0.9.5 and that works just fine with HAL
CVS.

Hope this helps,
