UPDATE: Now it has stopped working. I get an icon, and:
--------------
Unable to mount this device.
Potential reasons include:
Improper device and/or user privilege level
Corrupt data on storage device
Technical details:
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Not Authorized: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name 
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files

ps aux gives:  kded [tdeinit] --new-startup 
I am in plugdev.
The .policy file is as above.

Where next to look?


cheers
