When I put in a usb drive, if I watch the logs, I see something about
udisksd mounting it. That's in the udisks2 package. Is that installed?
Also, a machine I used today was mounting usb drives but the owner would
be set to root, so a non-root user wasn't allowed to write. Fixed it by
commenting out the usb-related lines in /etc/fstab. (I don't know why
they were there, but probably something left over from when I installed
testing from a usb stick a few months ago.)
