My /etc/fstab file reads ...

/dev/sdb1	/mnt/memstick	msdos	noauto,user,exec,nodev	0	0

for the flash drive, but when I type mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/memstick as
myself, I get this message ...

mount: only root can do that

If I switch to root, or logout and log back in as root, I can type the
command and access the drive. The same is true for the zip disk, which
reads in fstab as 

/dev/sda4	/mnt/zip	msdos	noauto,user,rw	0	0
