Very strange things happen.  With the line commented out the device can
be mounted without problems.  But with the line uncommented this happens
(note that I'm running as root):
        # mount /mnt/c
        mount: only root can mount UUID=E0649EB1649E8A44 on /mnt/c
This fstab line worked perfectly on Fedora-16.
