To clarify, you can configure udisks to mount your drives somewhere else
like your home directory.

Udiskie is a user service, so I don't think it makes sense to include it
in udisks-service-type.

But you can run shepherd as user.  I have this service:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define auto-mount
  (make <service>
    #:provides '(auto-mount)
    #:start (make-system-constructor "udiskie &")
    #:stop (make-system-destructor "pkill udiskie")
    #:respawn? #t))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
