Comment 35 for bug 1241811

This also affects me.
I have a brand new installation of plain Xubuntu 13.10 (XFCE) with no Unity or Gnome.

Like the other commenters dmesg reports that udisks recognise the drive correctly, and I can mount it manually with udisksctrl mount -b /dev/sdb1 but it doesn't mount automatically. Not even the same drive twice in the same session.
