[Bug 1129077] [NEW] udisks asks for root password to mount sata drive

[Sean Seago]

Public bug reported:

I did try to search but did not find a duplicate of this bug for Ubuntu 12.04.2 x86 64-bit.  This started after an update some time last week.
I have a disk, using LUKS encryption, in my HP docking station connected via SATAII internal to the dock.  Up until last week the behavior was as expected: 
* Click on the drive in nautilus
* LUKS password is retreived from key ring, and drive is unlocked
* Drive mounts so I can perform local backups

The behavior now is:
* Click on the drive in nautilus
* LUKS password is retreived from key ring, and drive is unlocked
* root password is requested

The last step obviously fails because the password is unknown to the
user by default.  I am not interested in "enabling" the root account
with a user-known password.
