Try removing that line and it should actually work though it seems a bit
backwards.. let us know..

(yes, gnome-mount uses hal to mount and (as a security measure) hal will
refuse to mount if there is already an entry in the /etc/fstab file -
regardless of whether they contain pamconsole and/or user. Looks like we
should clean up after fstab-sync - some care to file a bug?).
