Most likely you don't have permission to mount removeable storage devices.
 IIRC you need to be a member of the plugdev group on Ubuntu.

TDE uses udisks to handle the actual mount/umount operation, so all
conditions for the use of udisks need to be met before removable storage
mount/unmount will work under TDE.

Hope this helps!
