Trouble with mounting USB stick as user

[Jorge Aldana]

Yea, your permissions are off, need rw on them as well.

I caught this thread and the 3 steps do it nicely! You may need to logoff and 
back on to get the group change going for your username though, well I did.

I caught the devfs setting but does anyone have one already set? It should go in 
the rc.conf under /etc (I just want a ruleset or need one if one is readily 
avaialble)
