Hi Marcelo
Sorry... third try... seems to be a bad day for me...
I don't know how your fstab looks like
but I think you need the user option.
My fstab entry for the windows-partition looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 is mounted manually by any normal user
and every user who mounts it gets the right permissions.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Andreas.
