To my knowledge those things shouldn't be happening, you are replugging
after dd? Try the udisks list as we are abusing the xfce list. I don't
use udisks or polkit on any of my systems as I prefer finer grained user
control of sudo and well written task specific priv sep as a finer
grained approach to polkits functions.

You may have success with usbmount or udevil as udisks replacements
with spacefm, gkrellm or the xfce mountplugin as gui interfaces.

With these I can mount ufs in the required mode automatically or
be extremely accurate in what I want to allow very easily, none of
which I believe you can do with udisks.

If you can't remove udisks due to other programs you want to use
depending on it you would probably need to remove udisk files
from /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services as LAST_ACTION has unfortunately
been removed from udev which could have allowed you to bypass udisks
for a particular device easily. Otherwise your problem may persist.

I have no idea why RTFM is used so aggressively on LINUX mailing lists
because whilst 'apropos' is traditionally the most powerful command on
Unix-like systems it's 'modern' replacement 'apropos' on Linux is a tool
to help psychopaths learn to control their anger.
