Zip disks tend to be partitioned by default. I'm speaking from a VFAT and
IDE background here, but try mounting /dev/sda4 instead and see if it
works. Disk partition #4 is where Iomega puts the VFAT file system by
default on VFAT-formatted discs...try other numbers if that doesn't work.

If it's an empty disc, you can always reformat it to your liking. I tend
to keep ext2 filesystems on mine.
