G'day
I'd like to be able to unmount memory sticks as a regular user - currently when I right click on the drive > unmount, or issue
$: umount /media/10GBthis error appears:

I had a similar issue, and it was because PolicyKit was not started. Have you checked that?

Apparenly it's started, though I'm not 100% sure on the method for starting PolicyKit:
$ /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
** (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2108): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject
Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subjectIf it exists does this mean PolicyKit is running? And wouldn't PolicyKit be running if it drives automatically mount? It is just unmounting that gives a permission error. Just a guess though!
A bit more research lead me to this bug report (via xinitrc). So I tried moving /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus somewhere then rebooting, but no difference.
Oh and the output of ck-list-sessions contains the (apparently) all important: is-local = TRUE
Any more suggestions?

Solved!
Turns out all I had to do was move /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules to somewhere else! Gnome 3 automatically handles (some?) mounts. I remember creating them from the wiki when I couldn't get an XD card to mount.
I hope this is of use to someone in the future.
