I thought that it was listed in fstab with the user(s) option, the 
way his is, that the mount command was run as root, as long as you 
ran "mount <mount point>" or "mount <device>". On the other hand, 
using the format "mount <device> <mount point>" requires root 
permissions. But I have not used entries in /fstab for removable 
devices for a while - I use HAL instead.
