Package: pmount
Version: 0.9.18-2
Followup-For: Bug #495458
I tried using 'pmount' to mount a Sansa e260 MP3 player (configured
to appear as a generic USB storage volume). 'pmount' refused, claiming the
device was not removable:

----
sysfs quite clearly shows the device as removable:
----
$ cat /sys/block/sdb/removable
1
----
This exact same device mounts without issue using 'gnome-mount' and
plain old vanilla 'mount'.
Please investigate thie matter.
