My first guess is that you don't have msdosfs loaded. You need msdosfs 
either built into your kernel or loaded as a module before you can 
mount msdos filesystems. Mount will try to load the module if it's not 
available and will fail doing that with "Operation not permitted" when 
not run as root.
