I get two error windows that pop up.  One has the error message:

"Cannot mount volume
You are not priviledged to mount the volume 'FAT32'."

The other has the error:

"Cannot mount volume
You are not priviledged to mount this volume."

Here is my dmesg output:

Like I said I can mount it (/dev/sda1, or swapon /dev/sda2) no problem
in a bash shell from the root account.  But not as a regular user.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
