You mean from the host, logged in as a normal non-root user, you have been able 
to type:

   mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd 

and it works?  I don't see how that is possible unless your mount executable 
has been marked
setuid root in whatever distribution you are running (which means any process 
that executes the
mount command is promoted to the root user by the kernel).

I recommend you try the following experiment:  Run your uml instance from the 
root account on the
host.  That's the simplest way to side step all the permissions problems to 
determine if this is a
permissions problem or something else.  If you can then mount your pen drive 
from within UML, you
know its just a question of getting the permissions problems worked out.
