There are two issues involved here:

1.) gnome-volume-manager had to be updated for the changes in the 
ConsoleKit D-Bus API (this is what this bug is about)
Please remember, that g-v-m does more, then just automounting.

2.) gnome-volume-manager does no longer do the automounting itself, as 
this is done by nautilus not. Unfortunately, nautilus >= 2.24 has not 
yet entered testing yet (due to various reasons, like library 
transitions, RC bugs in nautilus etc).
I should have placed a Conflicts: nautilus (<< 2.24) in 
gnome-volume-manger, to avoid this unpleasant situation for testing 
users, where g-v-m is updated, but nautilus not.
I'm really sorry for this inconveniene.
Maybe I should do that anyway, even if it doesn't help the testing 
users, which already have upgraded g-v-m, as I don't know, when the new 
nautilus enters testing.


Still, with regard to 1.) the bug is fixed in g-v-m.

Hope that clears things a bit.
