Udisks2 sees usb storage as internal

Question

Since some days my MP3 player is seen by KDE as an internal storage device rather than external. This is quite annoying since device notifier doesn't show it and, most of all, my music doesn't show up in amarok anymore. I think that the problem is with udisks2 recognizing the device as internal.
First of all, here's the device:
$ udisksctl info -b /dev/sdc
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdc:
org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block:
Configuration: []
CryptoBackingDevice: '/'
Device: /dev/sdc

org.freedesktop.UDisks2.PartitionTable:
Type: dos
I tried to:
1) install gvfs: no success.
2) fix as suggested here (using UDISKS_SYSTEM rather than UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL): the device can be mounted without typing the password, but it's still seen as internal.
3) downgrade to udisks2 2.0.1-1 from 2.1.0-2: no success.
Can anyone please help me or give me a hint? Thanks.

Bought music from iTunes can be copied to the PC by right clicking on your Ipod in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases".
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, like Touchcopy for example.
If you haven't synced to your new computer, remember that iTunes will erase the content during the first sync.
To save your data and settings do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
