USB Automount fails for some users

[RayDeCampo]

I have an unusual problem where USB automount succeeds for some users but fails for others. All users have all available permissions granted via the GUI tool. This is a clean 9.04 install with all updates applied. Some files for /home were copied from an old 9.04 installation (which had been upgraded incrementally from 7.10). When the good is logged in and I stick in the USB stick, it automounts and the nautilus windows pops as expected. When I try the same thing (same port and USB stick) with the bad user, the USB stick blinks a couple of times and nothing happens.

I would appreciate any guidance.

does this happen with same users every time or random user?

Same users every time. Good user can consistently automount USB drives, bad user consistently cannot.

Of course now the computer wants to make a liar out of me, and the good user cannot mount the USB stick as well. I'd appreciate any guidance, I haven't found anything in the logs.

Have you checked if the good users and bad users are in the same group? If not - there's your answer :)

else..
If you create a new user, will it have the same problem with mounting or will be fine?
If it is fine try to delete literally everything from bad users (settings) and re-make them to check whether it is ok.

If that doesn't work i am out of ideas for now :P

good luck
