This doesn't help for me at the first trial.
 
I found the following solution:

/usr/local/sbin/modprobe_ppa:
  /sbin/modprobe ppa

/usr/local/bin/zipdrive:
  sudo /usr/local/sbin/modprobe_ppa
  mount /zip

All users which are alowed to mount the zipdrive are included in
the sudoers file.  Are there any security risks in this atempt?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
