I have since discovered a command "/sbin/mount.fuse" and "fusermount - -u" which are supposed to allow a non-privileged user to mount and unmount exfat devices; but I haven't figured out how to use them yet. A simple "/sbin/mount.fuse /media/xca" or "fusermount -u /media/xca" do not work. Other than fixing the format of the UUID device indicate from UUID- to UUID= I have yet to experiment with Don Armstrong's other suggestions. I thing I would rather get /sbin/mount.fuse and fusermount -u to work instead.
