My solution was to use the "user" option to mount. In my /etc/fstab I 
have the following:

/dev/hdb10    /mnt/macos    hfs    noauto,user    0 0

An ordinary user can then "mount /mnt/macos" and "umount /mnt/macos". 
Even better, I created a hard disk icon on my desktop that 
automatically mounts the partition when I click on it. Just right-click 
on the desktop and pick "Create New -> Hard Disc...".
