[SOLVED]My udev rules don't automount usb device

Question

Hi,
I'm using this .rules file for automounting usb devices:
# start at sdc to ignore the system hard drive
KERNEL!="sd[c-z]*", GOTO="my_media_automount_end" #sda and sdb are internal hard drives
ACTION=="add", PROGRAM!="/sbin/blkid %N", GOTO="my_media_automount_end"
# import some useful filesystem info as variables
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# get the label if present, otherwise assign one based on device/partition
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="%k"
# create the dir in /media and symlink it to /mnt
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p '/media/%E{dir_name}'"
# global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
# filesystem-specific mount options (777/666 dir/file perms for ntfs/vfat)
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8"
# automount ntfs filesystems using ntfs-3g driver
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o %E{mount_options} /dev/%k '/media/%E{dir_name}'"
# automount all other filesystems
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="ntfs", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o %E{mount_options} /dev/%k '/media/%E{dir_name}'"
# clean up after device removal
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l '/media/%E{dir_name}'", RUN+="/bin/rmdir '/media/%E{dir_name}'"
# exit
LABEL="my_media_automount_end"
The folders in /media are created successfully but no mounting takes place. The folders are empty and when I do
umount /media/device
, it returns:
umount: device/: not mounted
But when I try to remove the folder, it sometimes returns:
rmdir: failed to remove 'device/': Device or resource busy
When I unplug the device, the folders are deleted successfully.
When I manually mount the device with the code for ntfs from the rules-file, it works fine. I have also verified that the device is at /dev/sdc.
Through searching I didn't find any post with a problem like that. My guess was that somehow this test fails:
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs"
I already tried removing the second condition, but the result stays the same. So I am left rather clueless, I hope, you guys can help me

Thanks for the reply! So now I changed the rules to:
KERNEL!="sd[c-z]*", GOTO="my_media_automount_end"
ACTION=="add", PROGRAM!="/sbin/blkid %N", GOTO="my_media_automount_end"
# import some useful filesystem info as variables
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/udisksctl mount -b /dev/%k"
# clean up after device removal
ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/udisksctl unmount -b '/dev/%k'"
# exit
LABEL="my_media_automount_end"
But now nothing seems to happen when I plug in, also no folder creation at /run/media/user/, hmmm..
