you are on the money Mikkel,
after my first email, i noted that in fact what i had on FC10's fstab
was /dev/sdb1, not the /dev/sdd1 that is the actual device node being used.
how happy i was in my ignorance! i also just read in a related thread
that using fstab isn't a good idea as its used primarily at boot time.
let me slap a label on this puppy and see if i can make it howl! :)
thx again, jackc...

With that fstab entry, you should have gotten the same error in F10.
You need the user or users option to let a normal user mount an
entry in fstab. What it looks like you are getting as a mount point
is the uuid of the partation on the SD card. I suspect that the
fstab entry was not used in F10, and HAL was using /media/disk as
the mount point. Now, if you label the partition, you should get a
mount point of /media/<label>.
