I'm not sure about your point here. 

What I wanted to say is that in order to make a mount point which is 
defined in "/etc/fstab" being writeable by your users the mount point has 
to have the proper permissions if not, depending on the path it is 
located (e.g., my backup disk is mounted under "/data/backup" to avoid 
loops when running the tar routine to make a copy of my "/home" 
directory), it will be owned by "root" which is not usually what the user 
wants.
