How can I fix the permissions to get rid of the following error and mount my USB and internal CD/DVD drive:

Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to `/media/bret' failed: Operation not supported

These drives worked fine in 12.04, but I apparently now don't have permissions to mount these drives in 12.10. I tried chmod in the terminal, but I couldn't enter as the superuser, so I seem to be stuck. Please help!

If becoming superuser is the only problem, then do

sudo su root  

(a user who has proper privileges can use sudo to become superuser using her/his own password.)

This page gives an answer which seems to be working for me.
