I don't think that you'll ever see /dev/ipod by changing HAL.  I think
that getting an iPod to show up as /dev/ipod instead of /dev/sda2 is the
job for udev.   Anyway, /dev/ipod vs. /dev/sda2 doesn't really matter as
long as it gets mounted as /mnt/ipod.  Does HAL need to be restarted to
pick up on changes to policy?  Is HAL picking up your policy and
overriding the policy shipped with the OS?
