This is what I did. When wmii ran without ck-launch-session I had
another error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.6" (uid=1114 pid=2684 comm="dbus-send) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1418 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))
ERROR: dbus-send failed
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The error I have reported in my last post was under ck-launch-session:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ ps -u $USER | grep ck

$ ./halmount /dev/sdb1

I don't want it, you're right. But it is difficult to understand what
goes wrong when I'm using halmount without any idea of the syntax of
dbus-send, isn't it?

This works fine, thank you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./halmount /dev/sdb1
Mounted /dev/sdb1 to /media/disk

What a pity! It is not a problem for me since my USB pens use to have
ext2 file systems (or even ext3, for the USB pen I have used here),
but for a more general use it would be annoying.
