What does your /etc/fstab look like. Does it contain the Options for user?
Here is how mine looks likeounting the windows partition. This is only a
example, not how my machine is setup.
/etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /win vfat ro,user 1 0
geeze@multi:~$ mount /win
geeze@multi:~$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 9449116 7649024 1312348 85% /
/dev/hda1 10537368 9867512 669856 94% /win
geeze@multi:~$ umount /win
geeze@multi:~$ df
