Mounting USB memory stick problem

[Michael Whapples]

Check that all the auto mount options for gnome are set correctly. You can 
find these in the system, preferences menu under the item Removable drives 
and media.

If that fails, then set up your fstab file, and then you should be able to 
mount it with just the command (or similar) "mount /media/usbdisk", as the 
normal user.
