Both the first user, and all subsequent users created with users-admin (with the
"Desktop" profile, which is the default) are in plugdev. Do you use remote

Group memberships are not automatically changed on upgrades, this would be scary

Breezy's gnome-vfs now uses pmount to mount removable devices to get nicer
device labels. However, only plugdev users are allowed to execute pmount.

So your problem *is* in fact a dup of #18394.
