Bug Description
After attaching a removable USB device, I can use the device notifier to open its cryptsetup/LUKS container.
After entering the passphrase, another device turns up in the device list, having 3 actions attached like normal USB sticks.
But when trying to mount the device (using the "mount" icon), or trying to invoke any of the associated actions, I get the error:
"Could not mount the following device: X GiB External Hard Drive"
My guess is that it's related to missing PolicyKit configuration/
However, this is probably supposed to work without any configuration from my side.
(I can mount this manually using an existing fstab entry, via sudo)

But when trying to mount the device (using the "mount" icon), or trying to invoke any of the associated actions, I get the error:
"Could not mount the following device: X GiB External Hard Drive"
My guess is that it's related to missing PolicyKit configuration/ permissions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach USB drive (LUKS container)
2. Click on the unlock icon
3. Enter passphrase
4. Containing drive gets displayed in Device Notifier
5. Click the mount/open action
Actual Results:
Trying to open/mount this fails.
Expected Results:
The drive should get mounted.
Apparently this happens for ntfs only (have not tested it myself though, but was told so in #kubuntu-devel IIRC).
This is using ntfs-3g 2010.8.8-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu Maverick).
