That looks a lot more complicated than the solution I found a couple of 
years ago (in a blog posting which - unfortunately - no longer 
exists...). I also created a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/, but all it 
contains is:

ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", 
ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

(that's one line, in case it gets wrapped).

After  udevadm control --reload  (as root - and not --reload-rules as 
mentioned in that axllent.org doc) udisks mounts indeed appear in /media 
instead of /media/<user>.

That's essentially what's used here.
