I know what's the problem: 
 
Mounting a device with this syntax: 
 
	mount <device> <mntpoint>  
 
is only permited to the root user, because mount doesn't read de fstab config, 
just mount whatever device in <device> in <mntpoint> 
 
When doing like this: 
 
	mount <mntpoint> 
 
Mount parses the fstab looking for an entry for that mount point, and, if you have 
enough permissions it's mounted. 
 
In devices:/ every device should be mounted like in the second way, reading 
fstab. 
 
 
Another thing. When using supermount, it also trys to mount the device. And that 
should't be done, because a supermounted device is always mounted. Should i 
report this in another bug also? 
 
Bye
