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.
