Exactly!

It seems there are two separate issues that just happened to appear at the same
time.

The Arduino one I solved by getting the package direct from the Arduino website
(it is completely self contained).

The automount one is puzzling. Initially I thought it was a permissions issue of
some sort, but couldn't find any that have changed. Further investigation
suggests this is a glib problem :(

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
