Getting the Drive Manager setup is not too hard, but you're looking for away to mount / unmount once the drive is plugged in. Maybe if could be done with a button and some GPIO coding?

I am however having trouble getting any of the desktop environments to work at the moment. But v6.1 does work

Hi Drew, sorry to hear this. Yes, any things and a lot of stuff has been change with DietPi v6.x. As well base image and file system partition layout. Sorry, no chance to test it here, lack of a Pine64. Can you please provide terminal output of: ls -lah /boot/ df -h lsblk -f Without verify, because...
