I am not sure what his fstab should look like but as far as using the
mount command I have always found that you have to be root or have
permission explicitly granted. I plug in my external drive and it just
automounts for me, i don't remember doing anything special to get this
to work, but apparently this was not the case in FC6, i have never
used FC6. Hopefully he will  let us know what happened.
