Here. Just put this in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf, between <config
version="0.1"> and </config> will solve both of you problems (just
replace "your user name or uid" with the real thing):

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
  <match user="your user name or uid">
      <return result="yes"/>
   </match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.unmount-others">
  <match user="your user name or uid">
      <return result="yes"/>
  </match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate ">
  <match user="your user name or uid">
      <return result="yes"/>
  </match>
</match>
