Issues may occur where you may not be able to mount USB drives (or other drives) outside of root. Using root is not a real option as you'd need to be able to copy/paste conveniently. The issue may be polkit related - a piece of software that is used to authorise users to do things. Create and add this to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-consolekit.pkla (under root);
