It does work here on "all" my systems, and yes exactly as you are trying it.
I have checked if an absent entry in /etc/group for a particular user would
cause this problem, but thats not it, the only thing i can think of at the
minute is that your /bin/mount does not have the correct permissions, i have
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root
