Thanks all, I'll reinstall back up to the OS16 version of udisks and enter 'bash ' before the script name. Just FYI, there were some other novel suggestions involving policy kit oerrides, fstab entries, and even some other funky flag settings. But, since my main use of this technique is to semi-automate the process of installing a slew of custom activities and rpm's upon initial build and deployment, having to manually change every machine manually to basically avoid 5 keystrokes, was sort of counter-productive :-)<br>

</div>Bingo. It's a security feature -- avoids the situations where you plug<br>
in a usb drive and accidentally double-click on something and kaboom.<br>
<br>
Your workaround #2 (bash /media/foo/myscript.sh) is what I'd do.<br>
<br>
You can also mount -o remount,exec /media/foo<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
