Well /etc/mtab was no symlink for me initially, therefore I started fiddling 
around with it but it didn't really change anything. When I remove it, I get 
the error message that /dev/sda1 can't be found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab 
which is true, because it is not in /etc/fstab and I just deleted /etc/mtab. 
When I make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts (isn't there something 
under /sys nowadays?) I get the old errors, though the format is slightly 
different to the old mtab. Well anyway, mounting stuff and seeing it under 
KDE still doesn't work for me. 

BTW, as I'm using the Kubuntu packages, I reported it as Kubuntu bug 8039
(https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8039)

Have fun,
 Marcus
