Thanks for the explanation, installing policykit-1 didn't have an effect (on the module), which I
hoped it would do (ie add org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume to the list)

Wow, bummer. I was rather impressed how it worked (when it did)

I can still mount them (as root) but auto-mounting it from Dolphin (as me as normal user) was rather

It still works for removable drives, but the partitions/drives in question are internal hard disks
and those aren't mountable by users by default, unless you change the policy.
