Title:
  Unable to mount location Not Authorized after nautilus upgrade

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Following an automatic upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 between mid January and 6th February 2010 I can no longer mount any disks except the File System disc /.
  The same problem occurs on two different Ubuntu machines, both running Ubuntu 9.10.
  Both machines have two identical SATA discs - one has the File System on it and the other has other files which were accessible but now are not.  One machine has a USB disc and that can not be mounted either.

  All disks are visible in Computer File Browser but double clicking
  gets a pop up window message "Unable to Mount Location Not
  Authorized."

  System->Administration->Disk Utility gets me to the Palimpsest Disk
  Utility that can see both disks in question and lists them as /dev/db
  and /dev/sdc

  In Terminal I get:
  david@tekels1:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb
  mount: can't find /dev/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

  and indeed they are not listed in those files.

  This is of course business critical as I'm in the process of moving my
  business servers from Windoze to Ubuntu !  Fortunately they are not
  live yet.
