You need the user or users option to let a normal user mount an entry in fstab. What it looks like you are getting as a mount point is the uuid of the partation on the SD card. I suspect that the fstab entry was not used in F10, and HAL was using /media/disk as the mount point. Now, if you label the partition, you should get a mount point of /media/<label>.
