Wow! Thanks for trying this out and for getting back to me so quickly, [member=47]Scott[/member] . I did exactly what you said, and tested it out. It works like a charm!
I didn't even have to go to my file manager using your solution - there was the USB drive on the desktop. Perfect. Thank you for looking into this AND finding a solution that works exactly how I wanted it to!!
I did the testing twice to be certain. I did it with a secondary user logged in first and then me logging in (as described in original post). The USB mounted fine. Then I restarted the computer, and next test I did it just with the two secondary users, logging one in first then logging in with the other one. In both cases the problem was fixed and the USB drive was mounted!! I did this in LL 4.0, with an ext4 formatted USB as that's what I had been using.
So, I think it's safe to say you have found the solution! Many, many thanks on behalf of me and my family. I will mark this as solved.

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
