If memory serves me correctly I believe this has something to do with SELinux kernel. I remember reading somewhere, can't remember where, that the SELinux kernel doesn't allow Joe-user to mount a floppy because of security issues, real or imaginary as it might be. You could test this by shutting down the kernel security with selinux=0 and mounting the drive again.
