Sometimes I get that when the entry in /etc/fstab does not include the 'users' option. > /dev/sdb1 on /media/USB Drive type vfat > (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=100,shortname=lower,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) 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.
