Currently my system automounts usb drives under the logged in user - I believe it's XFCE that's doing this as oppose to a system wide rule. This means that anything that gets mounted does so under /media/$user/$label. I would like all inserted usb drives to mount under /media/$label and then be accessible by all users on the system.

Additionally I want this to happen outside of the desktop environment so that I can insert a random device, ssh in and be able to access the pre mounted device.

How can I accomplish this?

That'll only work with a fixed number of drives - udev rules allow you to specify wildcards and have the drives mount under their retrospective label in /media.
