Android USB storage not available without restarting udisks2

My problem seems to be specific to Arch (I've got Chakra, Debian, Fedora, and Back|Track installed on other partitions and all is well there), when inserting a USB drive, everything seems to work fine, the Device Notifier alerts me of the new drive, and it shows up in Dolphin. BUT, when I plug in my phone as a mass storage device, it doesn't work. The phone shows up in lsusb, as well as systemctl (sorta) -- the 'sdc' entry is there, just not the partition entries (sdc1, sdc2, etc.) -- same thing in the /dev directory (sdc, but no sdc[x]). Now, if I run "systemctl restart udisks2.service" the partition entries show up in systemctl, the /dev directory, and Dolphin, and the Device Notifier alerts me accordingly... This has got to be something stupid I'm missing. I've been Googling this all day. Anybody got any ideas?

Edit:
Sorry, forgot to mention it's an Android (gingerbread) phone, and I'm running the lts kernel.

Re: Android USB storage not available without restarting udisks2

How did you start KDE? As recommended from [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Using_KDM_(KDE_Display_Manager) here]?

If you are using xinitrc, please read [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc Xinitrc]. You may have some polikit problem using this method.

KDE is started through KDM at startup:

I used 'systemctl enable kdm.service' after installing KDE.
