You are so behind the times! The right way to do this in the modern world (TM) is via a DBus-powered abstraction for storage devices, powered by a DBus-accessible login-tracking daemon, coupled with an implementation of setuid-over-DBus, the latter depending on an XML schema for expressing policy. (The policy may look incomprehensible, but trust me, the infallible distro maintainer has set up the right defaults for you.)
