OK, I looked at the usermount source and it's looking for the
"pamconsole" option. Could you try putting that option on any devices
you want to be user-mountable and see if it works?

I think this is really dumb, and I'm tempted to patch it so it checks
for the "user" option as well, but this is a workaround in the meantime.
