Bug Description
After adding a new user, gnome-volume-
hard drine, and media in a card reader. I was able to use pmount manually to
acess the drives. I was able to get it working again after a complete removal,
reboot, and reinstialtion. I have read numerous complaints on the Ubuntu forums
with simmilar complaints of the failure to automount USB devices.

You mean drives are not automounted for the new user? You have to explicitly
allow this for new users (look in the 'privileges' section in the users admin
tool). New users created with the users admin tool automatically have this
privilege since the 'Desktop' profile is the default.
Please send me the output of 'id' as the user that does not get automounting to
confirm this.
