Maybe your mount defaults to noexec? Try mounting it with defaults,rw,exec
and see if that works. (The 'user' option just allows non-root users to
mount and unmount the partition. Although that may be what you want, I
suspect that it isn't.) For the home directory, I would suggest also
mounting it as nosuid, and you should probably consider nodev for any
mountpoint that doesn't have /dev under it.
