   Sometimes I get that when the entry in /etc/fstab does not include the
'users' option.

   I don't know why the options are in parentheses or why there are so many.
On my system /etc/fstab has two mountable USB devices:

/dev/sda1        /mnt/thumb       vfat        noauto,users      0 0
/dev/sda         /mnt/meizu       vfat        noauto,users      0 0

and both work for me as a user.

   Suggest that you change /etc/fstab to have only the two options I use and
see if there's a difference.
