Hmmm, good question, I never checked.  The message I received was something
along the lines of:  "This command can only be run by root.".  It was
because of this message I came up with my hypothesis, since it isn't a
regular (to my knowledge) bash error.  At least, it didn't look like one.

I'll check the perms.  Anyone know where I can set my user PATH so it is
remembered next time I log on?  Is it /home/<username>/.profile?

Thanks,
Curtis.

How did your distro set the permissions on /bin/mount?  Mine is rwsr-xr-x
root 
root.  I guess that's why I've always been allowed to use mount as a regular

user without being a part of any special group.  Is your binary part of a 
different group (like mount) that you can add yourself to?
