Public bug reported:

As a normal user, insert SDHC flash memory card, it mounts ok, but there
is an error when trying to eject it:

 $ eject /media/00F0-82C2
eject: unable to open `/dev/mmcblk0p1'

 $ eject --version
eject version 2.1.5 by Jeff Tranter ([email protected])

 $ dpkg -l | dpkg-grep eject
eject-2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-9

This is happening in all recent versions of Ubuntu from Maverick to
Quantal.

sudo eject works ok, and the device permissions are:
  brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 Oct  1 12:00 /dev/mmcblk0p1

Looks like the permissions handling needs to be changed.
Either the mount and the unmount should both work, or they both should not 
work. Being able to mount, but not unmount is inconsistent and ridiculous.
