As root both work as expected.
Do you mean that as root you don't have the problem at all?
I did not spend so much time logged as root. I did not see the problem then, but I'd have to spend more time trying to give a real answer.
Re 5), when it fails, you can go in Konqueror, search the Storage Media in the treeview which in turn lists the available known drives. Then double click on your failed disk and see if it gets mounted again or not. Alternatively, you can type "media:/sdg1" (or whatever path) in the location bar and press enter.
media:/sdg1 works
Now that you have d-feet installed, can you also make another test. After a failed mounting, open d-feet, search the system bus for udisk2 and select it. On the right side you will see many interfaces. Search for object path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdg1 (or other path), expand it and please paste a screenshot.
Done (4 snapshots!)
Finally, one more thing. Open KDCOP, search for kded -> mediamanager -> fullList function (going by memory here, may be slightly different name). Double click to execute. In the result section, you will have a list of known disks. Can you find your disk there? If so, can you paste a screenshot of the properties of that disk?
You get another snapshot
Last (but not least), is this a real system or is it running inside VirtualBox (or other VM)? (not a stupid question, trust me).
It's a real system.

There are a lot of pages that come up under this and similar questions, but this one had answers that worked for me. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-i-automount-...
With this, I created udev rules and a shell script (all should be explained in this page). On a new installation, I just copy these items (udev rules and shell script) from my secure storage location to these places, like so:
udev rules sudo cp -r -v -f /media/<storage_location>/etc/udev/rules.d/52-usb-memory.rules -t /etc/udev/rules.d/
mount script sudo cp -r -v -f /media/<storage_location>/usr/local/sbin/mount-usb.sh -t /usr/local/sbin/
After reboot, everything works like one expects, no surprises.
lotsa luck
