I don't think reformatting your usb key will solve that mount error. I don't
have access to a freepbx system verify this but my guess is the version of
"mount" is too old to support relatime.
Regardless, you can safely delete this whole section:
# Global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
"relatime" & "noatime" are tweaks to the mounting that prevent linux from
updating the "atime" of the file. It dramatically cuts down on file system
access which not only improves performance but also lengthens the life of
storage that has a maximum re-write lifetime.
This is --way-- off topic but if you are interested in performance tweaking
of linux file systems you can experiment with mounting your devices with the
"noatime" option. However, it can cause problems with certain programs that
require accurate "atime" information so use with caution.
By the way, if you needed to reformat the key you can format fat32 (vfat) on
Linux:
# mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1
Or if you don't need to plug this usb into a Windows machine you can just
format the key with ext3.
