Okay, I just added this to rc.local (replaced user with my actual username)
and rebooted... the device wasn't mounted on startup. Then I tried this
command manually in terminal:

user at mypc:~$ su user -c "udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-label/Data"

(PS. This was the result with the correct password.. output with the wrong
password is "su: Authentication failure").

Curious, why it wouldn't mount..
