Update:

The perms on mount are the same (rwsr-xr-x), but I still get the funky "Only
root can do that" message.  I forgot to check the group, I will do that
tonight.

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?
