Can't write to USB stick without sudo

[Ronnie Tucker]

Yes, I can open it in Dolphin and I can list it in Konsole:

ronnie at ronnie-desktop:~$ ls -l /media/usb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 16  2013 /media/usb -> usb0

This seems to happen for all my USB devices though and it's not something
I'm doing. It could be a new device right out of the packet and I still get
this happening.
