usb storage device mounting problems

[Mark Moellering]

While I have not used removable drives, I have found that working with 
removable media, dvd's, etc.  I have this sort of problem if I don't have an 
entry in fstab with the mount point owned by the user and preferably in the 
user directory structure.
