Eugene Poole was having touble with automounting CDs:

I asked:

and he said:

Precisely what are you getting? If there's "managed" in there anywhere,
that means that the entry is created and managed by kudzu et al. You
might want to take "managed" out, and replace it with "users". That
would give you responsibility for maintaining that line, but if kudzu
isn't doing its job, you might find that better.

"users" should allow mere mortals to mount and umount the drive.
