mount permission problem

Hi folks.

I've got my box set up so that any user can mount the cdrom drive and once 
mounted belongs to that user.

I've tried to set up my USB memory stick and camera the same way, but I can't 
get it to work except from root.  Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Below are the relevent /etc/fstab entries:

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 
0 0
/dev/sda                /mnt/usb                auto    noauto,owner,kudzu      
0 0
/dev/sda1               /mnt/camera             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu      
0 0

[gary at gary gary]$ mount /mnt/cdrom/
[gary at gary gary]$ mount /mnt/camera/
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/camera
[gary at gary gary]$
