mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mnt/usbdrive

Note if it's a partition rather than a full drive image you'd
need /dev/sdc1 for partition 1.  cat /proc/partitions or parted /dev/sdc
print to check (fdisk won't understand Mac disk labels)

mount -t hfsplus /dev/... /mnt/somewhere

If things aren't working it's likely to be hal/udev/gnome-user-mount
