When I plug in an NTFS formatted external USB hard drive and try to open
it in the file browser I get "Unable to mount the selected volume.
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1.  I can manually
create the mount point and mount it with sudo (or as root), and it seems
to work after that.
