Drive policy keys are no longer used.  See

About the best I've been able to do is define a HAL rule to override the
{volume.name} parameter such that it's at least constant and under my
control.  The following will cause a CD/DVD in my drive to always mount
at /media/cdrecorder instead of /media/{volume.name}
