Hello Colin,

the sequence is that I insert a USB memory stick and open Dolphin in 
Kubuntu and I'm presented with a list of available file systems, 
including the  memory stick. Selecting this device, or any of the 
advertised partitions, mounts the partition and permits access to the 
contents.

When using Nautilus under Unity - which I don't do very often - the 
mount operation fails with:
Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to '/media/<username>' failed: Operation 
not supported.

I assume that it's a permissions thing somewhere, but as yet I don't 
know where.
