Safeguard 6.x always encrypts USB media

As the title says no matter what I do in the policy editor any USB plugged into the computer becomes encrypted. 

I am using volume based encryption and all the laptops are Win7 64bit SSD

I have followed the guides provided in Easy Disable USB , Disable auto. encryption of external USB media and USB encryption.

I have read the guides. The targets in both Data and Device do not have removable Media or anything else other than Local Storage

"For version 5.x/6.x.. . Select the Encryption Policy and change the target for encryption (i.e. remove "Removable Media" as a target)"

I have read this as well "SafeGuard Policy Editor Admin Help manual (ssg_60_h_eng_admin_help.pdf) chapter 13. "Policy Settings" -> 13.8 "Device Protection" for details."

I read about making a whitelist "and then create a device encryption policy that targets only that whitelist.  Create a second policy that targets all removable media, and set it to "No Encryption".  Finally, make sure that the first whitelist-targeted policy has a higher priority than the no-encryption policy." 

Is there not a simple way to say do not encrypt USBs or do I have to make Whitelists as well?

Thank you
