It worked for myself:

SAMDOM\rowland at rpidc1:~ $ groups
domain users dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev scanner
BUILTIN\administrators BUILTIN\users domain admins denied rodc password
replication group rowland testgroup

It just didn't help with the problem

Perhaps running a script when a usb drive is inserted might be the way
forward, but I haven't given up on either udev or udisks2 being able to
set the correct ownership
