What I need to know is if you can mount the device using mount as root,
udisks is not relevant right now. And then report the output of
"ls -l /dev/sdb1" and "getfacl /dev/sdb1".
If it works, then your issue has nothing to do with the original bug
report.

No, your job is to provide me with useful information, which so far you
failed to do. Even worse, you replied with incorrect information which
sidetracked me.
Just saying "does not work" may make you feel better, but will not help
me investigating the bug.

Then maybe you should bother the udisks maintainer about this.

Still not interested in the upper layers.
