It mounts and is both read/writeable on my computer
(Intrepid). But
not on the new Intrepid box I just put together last week
for my wife.
The device shows up/disappears when I plug it in/remove it.
But when
accessed her user is told:

Cannot mount volume
You are not privileged to mount this volume

And then about 30 seconds later she gets:

Unable to mount 2.0 GB media
Dbus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply.
Did not receive a replay. Possible causes include: the
remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security
policy
blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network
connection was broken.

The device in question is an Emprex 2.0 GB. sfdisk -l
reports that it
is a FAT16 file system.

This is probably glaringly obvious, but I'm drawing a
complete blank
right now. Point me to the sky, please.

Your message suggest your wife's user name needs to be added to the disk group or some other appropriate group. I may be wrong as I'm not expert but that's where I'd look first.
