here is my /etc/fstab entry ( that works)
UUID=686C-7E81 /media/usb_DAWGS vfat
users,atime,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noauto  0 0

( that was all one line)

in the /media folder is a file called .hal-mtab
I was trying to add an entry in there for this, so my wife could unmount
it, but I was not successful. The fstab entry still mounts it:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2008-08-16 15:14 usb_DAWGS
