udisksctl mounts as root

Today I've noticed an issue with automatic mounting of drives, whenever I mount an external drive my /run/media/realgecko folder is owned by root thus I cannot write to mounted drive. I tried removing /run/media/realgecko as root and then execute

udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc1

as ordinary user, and it works but /run/media/realgecko is owned by root again. As far as I remember it worked differently and /run/media/realgecko was owned by my user before. What am I doing wrong?

Re: udisksctl mounts as root

/run/media/realgecko folder is owned by root

That's normal - what's the output of "mount | grep realgecko" and "lsblk -f" after mounting the device?
