Can't access drives

I've been unable to access my drives lately. Both my Windows drive and my DVD drive.
I get unauthorized access messages from Dolphin (An error occurred while accessing 'drive', the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized) and Nautilus. (Unable to access "drive" Not authorized to perform operation)

I did everything mentionned in this section:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … ormal_user

I also added my user to the storage group

I tried two different ~/.xinitrc configs:
exec ck-launch-session kde4-session
and
exec dbus-launch kde4-session

I still get the same result.

I've looked in the forums and treid some solutions of similar problems, to no avail. Not sure what else to try. I have to reboot in Windows to watch a DVD

Don't forget to mark the topic as solved (by editing the first post) so that other people (including yourself sometimes) may find useful.
