Thunar cannot mount SD card from built-in reader

Recently, Thunar has not been able to auto-mount my SD card from my laptop's built-in card reader. It was able to do this before without a problem. It seems to be a permissions problem, because Thunar can mount the card just fine when ran as root. This is the error message Thunar throws when I plug in my card and it tries to mount it:

Failed to mount "SD/MMC Drive".

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.60" (uid=1000 pid=19231 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=2535 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).

How can I fix this so that Thunar will be able to successfully auto-mount my card as a user?

Re: Thunar cannot mount SD card from built-in reader

I fixed this by launching my session with PolicyKit (from this thread):

.xinitrc

eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
exec ck-launch-session SESSION_HERE
