I'm experiencing the same problem and I use openbox, obdevicemenu, udisks, udiskie, and log in on tty0 then type startx. I plugged in a usb drive, couldn't mount it, then went to tty0 and found this error message:
[ failed to mount /org/freedesktop/UDisks/dev/sdc1 org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Permission.Denied Not Authorized ]
There is also an error message on tty0 from thunar-volman which is exactly the same. I went through all the logs and can't find any mention of it anywhere. One of the things I haven't yet learned to do is capture the output on tty0 to another terminal so I have to go back and forth occassionally to find these things. Hope I got the wording right. Seems like it's an error associated with the latest udev update.

Meaculpa. It's a permission error but its with Udisks.
su password udisks --mount /dev/xxxx /media/xxxx
works fine.
I have the requisite
udiskie requires permission for the org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount action. This is usually granted in sessions launched with ConsoleKit<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit>support. If run outside a desktop manager with ConsoleKit<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit> support, the permission can be granted using PolicyKit<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit> by creating a file called 10-udiskie.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d with these contents:
[udiskie] Identity=unix-group:storage Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes
This configuration allows all members of the storage group to run udiskie. I've tried the .pkla file as above and with two additional lines
ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes
Seems as though it may be a permissions issue that's handled within a desktop environment. I'm unable to check that without installing a desktop environment. Time to readup on consolekit and polkit.

The dangerous way
place a file in /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf
99-whatever-you-want-to-call-it.conf [Configuration] priority=1000
sudo /usrlib/polkit-1/polkitd restart , then I restarted openbox. This disables policykit. I got the idea from the following mailing list
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal-commit/2009-February/004854.html. The name suggested for the files was 99-i-hate-policykit-conf
At least it solves the problem for now.

None of your emails make sense to me. You should check whether your dbus is running and you are connected to it (ck-list-sessions, ps -e u | grep dbus, your .xinitrc). You don't need udiskie, pkla files, storage group, gvfs or thunar-volman. Plain udisks from terminal should work if your ck-session is set up correctly. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
