That's odd.
FWIW, here's a few fstab entries:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw,users 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbkey auto noauto,rw,users,sync 0 0
Only difference I can see from yours is "users" instead of "user" which
shouldn't matter.
As an aside, I had to put the following in /etc/filesystems:
vfat
*
Otherwise msdos was getting set as the filesystem type for floppies and
usbkeys instead of vfat (meaning mangled long filenames)
[because /proc/filesystems shows msdos before vfat - see `man mount`] I
didn't have to do this on another system, so its possible that I have
unnecessary drivers built.
