Well, "noauto" worked but "user" did not.  Had to either become su or use
sudo to mount the filesystems.  Minor issue, but it really should work.
I'm on FC3 running the latest kernel.

Another minor issue - when mounted in this fashion I get icons on the
desktop for each mounted volume.  Not a big deal (I can always ignore
them), but is there some way to get these to not show up on the desktop,
perhaps some obscure option to mount?
