Have you tried manually mounting with something like:

I don't use udisks, but I use pmount and (I think) it automatically mounts with the noexec option. I have never had a reason to try to get around this, so I also cannot speak to whether or not working around it is functional.
Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't tried that, though I had tried pmount with the -e flag, which should set executable permissions. Mounted as you suggest, the script is executable. :) It failed again, but that was because I didn't have mtools installed, and was easy to fix. Interesting that a manual mount worked where pmount and mount using 'noauto' in /etc/fstab didn't.
But I figure if you do it manually, and specify exec, if it still doesn't work, then you at least then know that it is not specific to any of these automounting functions you use.
:) I guess it proves that it is down to udisks/polkit. I'd still like to know how I can control the options set by them, but at least your suggestion allows me to do what I need. Thanks again. Paul.
