USB devices will not mount

[shipinomore10]

Just installed Mint 17.1 Cinnamon and when trying to plug in usb sticks I get the following error msg.
System is up to date with all updates.
I am also running Virtual box and all guests that I have installed seem to have the same problem with attaching USB devices.
Is this a problem that is inherent to the new release of Mint ?
Could I correct this thru a command in a Terminal that would resolve it or is there something that can be added to one of the startup programs.
Thank You
Larry

Thank you so much for the help. It works just fine. I am using windows 8.1 as a host to Mint 17.1 and all now works for me.
