The OP might want a .pkla file somewhere in/etc/polkit-1/localauthority
with the contents:
[Mount internal devices]
Identity=unix-user:brian
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
On the other hand he might see this as unsuitable in some way. But he
has pklocalauthority(8) to guide him further.
