F17 kde udisks USB mount failure 'not authorized'

Recently upgraded from F16 (where everything worked OK..) to F17, and now... KDE device notifier recognises USB disks, but gives:

'Could not mount the following device.
an unspecified error has occurred.
Not Authorized'

error message.

and:

# udisks --mount /dev/sdl1
Mount failed: Not Authorized

- udisks mount works when run as root, but this leaves the directory inaccessible to users..:

# udisks --mount /dev/sdl1
Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdl1 at /media/USB3_DISK01

Tried installing _clean_ version of KDE, with new user account, but problem was still there..
Tried 'downgrading' to FC16 version of udisks (from rebuilt F16 source rpm), but no difference..
Tried different kernel versions (compiled)- no difference..
Tried mounting from Gnome3 desktop, but had to enter root password to get mount to work, and then the directory was inaccessible to users...

Other USB devices (scanner and camera) are recognised - and accessed - correctly..

Selinux is disabled..

Problem has been reproduced with F17 on two different x86_64 systems, and on an ARM system (Raspberry Pi)

Problem already logged to Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820675)
