Unless things have changed in the last couple of years you might find
udevil/spacefm (just install) or sudo/spacefm much more flexible.

There is also usbmount for Xless auto-mounting like the good old
hotplugd for BSD which is my favourite of all though closer to udev
than udisks or udevil.

Udevil is the easy switch and more secure too especially if you get rid
of polkit or the most secure is to do things finely like enforcing all
sorts of things like noexec with sudo (ignore the lies about sudo from
the many that are unfamiliar with it).
