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.
