When plugging in a device, it is perhaps root that does the mount.

May be you want to use filesystem options "users" instead of option "user"?

Alternatively, for the vfat filesystem, perhaps add mount option
uid=1000 (check your uid to make sure, first user account is normally
1000 on Debian).

Good luck
