wich wm,  do you start it with startx and use  "ck-launch-session yourcoolwindowmanager" in .xinitrc ? Because KDM and GDM have support for policykit. Wich filemanager are you using because pcmanfm needs to be modified to mount ntfs .

figo 1802, This may be a policy issue with hal. But nautilus will work just fine. There are many threads please do a search.
One more basic question, Are you in storage group?
