To be sure, the command

udisk --poll-for-media /dev/sr0

results in:
: > ps aux | grep udisks | grep -v grep
root      2792  0.0  0.0  14408  3060 ?        SNl  12:09   0:00 
/usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
root      2793  0.0  0.0   5884   668 ?        SN   12:09   0:03 
udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sr1

So while giving the command to poll the /dev/sr0 device only, it starts 
polling all the removable devices. That's what I mean with not intended 
behaviour. You mention that the intended behaviour is only polling the 
device on the command line right?
