You may want to look at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=710

My solution:

Create the file 90-my-local-authentication.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/

[Local Authentication]
Identity=unix-user:yourusername
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
ResultActive=yes

yourusername needs to be replaced by your actual user name
