The basic problem is: Creating a device shortcuts add the device plus the mount point to the shortcut file.
Package kde4libs file kioslave/file/file.cpp function void FileProtocol::mount( bool _ro, const char *_fstype, const QString& _dev, const QString& _point ) gets called with both values (device+mount-point). This results in a call of mount <device> <mount-point> The mount shipped on Debian systems only allows to specifiy either <device> or <mount-point>. If both are specified, you get the error, that only root may do this. So the problem is, that KDE expects a different behavior than provided by mount. Workaround: Delete (with a text editor) the mount point setting from the shortcut file.
