Also, it is tricky to do 'user' mounts because users would necessarily have write permissions. So I would suggest that as root, you not only fix /etc/fstab on this computer but you also chmod 777 on /mnt/home so users can deal with it. But to be honest, /mnt was never intended to be a network mount point.
