Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't tried that, though I had tried 
pmount with the -e flag, which should set executable permissions.

Mounted as you suggest, the script is executable. :) It failed again, 
but that was because I didn't have mtools installed, and was easy to 
fix. Interesting that a manual mount worked where pmount and mount using 
'noauto' in /etc/fstab didn't.

:) I guess it proves that it is down to udisks/polkit. I'd still like to 
know how I can control the options set by them, but at least your 
suggestion allows me to do what I need. Thanks again.

Paul.
