I'm not able to mount my external HDD using Xubuntu 13.04 (udisks2), not even while booting into a live medium. However, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.2 (udisks) are able to mount the device without problem. Syslog is showing following entries: Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.012101] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.145401] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=14cd, idProduct=6116 Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.145409] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=3, SerialNumber=2 Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.145412] usb 2-2: Product: USB 2.0 SATA BRIDGE Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.145416] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Super Top Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.145419] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: M6116018VE15 Mar 29 19:19:41 local kernel: [ 46.153488] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

It looks like the error has been been fixed at some point. Works fine in Ubuntu 14.10.
