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?

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? ~Scott
