Thanks for your report. I have an attempted fix for this. Can you please add my PPA
https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/ppa/ (System -> Admin -> Software Sources -> Other software -> Add) and upgrade your system? This will pull in version 007-1karmic1test1 of devicekit-disks. Please disconnect and reconnect the drive after the upgrade and check if it gets automounted without password then. If it does not work, please do this in a terminal: ls -lR /sys|gzip -9 > /tmp/sys.txt.gz and attach /tmp/sys.txt.gz here.
