There are a few things that SELinux will deny but not generate a log
message for.  is the big one.  That's bitten me in the past.

In your particular case, if pam_mount is being run before su transitions
to the sysadm_r role, then you'll probably get denials from user_r not
being authorized for the mount_t domain.

Solution:

role $1_r types mount_t;
