I got it... :-)

gnome-vfs2 printed wrongly peripherals names, that was solved by
upgrading hal to 0.5.7.
gnome-vfs2 pmount option doesn't seem to work, it still uses mount imho
because it refuses to mount peripheral that do not appear in /etc/fstab.
However gnome-volume-manager works quite fine without gnome-mount, using
pmount, but there are some strange issues. In fact both use gnome-mount,
at runtime, if available, this is the default option. I would so argue
to switch to use that new stuff. What do you think ??

However, I spent several hours to understand WHY gnome-volume-manager
didn't work at all first. It simply exited. In fact, it needs, as gdm2,
the pam_console module. However, iirc this module is deprecated since
0.79, right ? A workaround is to touch /var/run/console/$USER and then
gnome-volume-manager magically runs... :-) Should you put this
somewhere ?
