My thinking exactly.

I do have several computers in me wee lab. The sticks are all fine, mount and 
umount on all other computers, including another pclos 64 with the same 
kernels. At first I thought it was a kernel bug, wrong. 

I can only guess I'm installing something that messes it up. 

I reinstalled the OS into the test computer and incrementally installing 
packages until I find the culprit. 

I've noticed some odd behavior with some trinity packages such as 
trinity-tdeio-umountwrapper, it removes the "safely remove" from all menus 
related to removable drives.

I think I'm installing an incompatible packages. I've done it before. Honestly 
I'm my own worst enemy.

Thanks for the UDisks2 tip. I'll check into that.
