Could you share that line in /etc/fstab?

On my Jessie system, I've got USB mounting working with pcmanfm.  It required some systemd stuff as well as policykit:

~$ aptitude search ~i | grep systemd
i A libpam-systemd                  - system and service manager - PAM module   
id  libsystemd-daemon0              - systemd utility library (deprecated)      
i A libsystemd0                     - systemd utility library                   
i A libsystemd0:i386                - systemd utility library                   
i A systemd                         - system and service manager                
i   systemd-shim                    - shim for systemd      

$ aptitude search ~i | grep policykit
i A policykit-1                     - framework for managing administrative poli
i A policykit-1-gnome               - GNOME authentication agent for PolicyKit-1

I am running sysvinit, not systemd-sysv (which is why systemd-shim is installed).
