It does!  For future searching: adding

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
   <match user="marcus">
     <return result="yes"/>
   </match>
</match>

with the appropriate username to PolicyKit.conf solves this.  With GNOME 
(or maybe just gdm), it sounds like this would happen automatically. 
(I'm using xdm and xfce).

Thanks!
