Besides the fact that I don't actually want automounting, they also had issues such as not allowing me to unmount via the filemanager, not automatically showing up in the filemanager (I have to close and open it again for it to show up as mounted), and not disappearing in the filemanager when unmounted. I have a feeling udisks-glue will work similarly to those two. They are mounting those devices but they are not really making the filemanager SEE that there are new devices inserted or removed. Probably just running mount automatically in the background, which is fine for the moment for me to at least have access to those devices, but not really an elegant solution for my use case.
