As I read the man page for mount, "user" or "users" or "owner" governs who can mount, but only "uid=" affects ownership. As I remember, there is no substitution for the UID of the requesting user -- but if there were, it would be really helpful in your case, and I think that information is available to the daemon. If your hotplug subsystem were doing its job it would mount the device automatically, and would get the ownership right. I have a "howto" about this (not totally complete).
