Unlike ext4, the FAT filesystem does not support Unix file permissions so 
accessing the fs via userspace is more restricted than FAT.  However, I would 
expect a different error, like "wrong filesystem type ...".

What do you get in your logs when your run:

~ $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdXx

where Xx are the device and partition numbers?

Is it possible the owner/access rights of the ext4 fs has changed between the 
time when it worked and now?
