Interesting. "udisks/udisks2" is not installed, but "pmount".
Mounting removable devices without "pmount" fails. I also have no networkmanager
running (just plain dhcp on eth0). Sounds good to me :-)
On FreeBSD it looks like the TDEs hal-component does not work propperly when hal is
compiled without consolekit/policykit: it just shows the interlan hd, but no removeable
media - devd based automount still works propperly.

Consolekit was also needed for tdm to implement mulit-seat. I do not know the
current state of systemd inheriting the multi-seat functionality from
consolekit, but when I was building TDE for Arch, when arch dropped consolekit
and went to pure systemd, it broke tdm and there was a big push to implement
multi-seat without consolekit that was never quite brought to fruition.
Slavek probably recalls that mess. A good introduction of the
consolekit/polkit/udisk relationship is:
