I can confirm this issues still exists in a clean install of 12.04 LTS
using FreeNX. I did find that if I hook a keyboard and a mouse up and
log in locally, I can access the usb thumb drive normally. However, over
FreeNX it says something like "Access Denied - Unauthorized." I can also
access the drive over FreeNX after I have accessed it locally.

Since I mainly use the system remotely, I did find a way to access the
thumb drive over FreeNX without it being too much of a hassel. I made a
DiskUtil.sh script where I do not have to type in my sudo password every
time:

#!/bin/sh
echo "yourSudoPassword" | sudo -S palimpsest

When in the graphical Disk Utility, I can mount the usb drive and then
click on the link on the right hand side that says "Mount Point:
Mounted at /media/Transcend" and it will open up and I can copy to and
from the drive normally. Note that even mounted, I cannot access the
files through Nautilus at the mount point. I have to click the link in
palimpsest or it will not work. But hey, at least I can access my thumb
drive remotely.

And for the record, I know that script file is not the best way to do
that, but I tried several ways to do it correctly and they didn't work
for me...so yeah, there is a script file somewhere on a system that has
my password in it.
