Thanks for the tip John. Indeed, if I set the permissions on /dev/fuse so that others can read/write, a local usb stick works properly, once--before the permissions on /dev/fuse are reset. What is resetting the permissions on /dev/fuse? What are the security concerns regarding fuse?--why wouldn't I want to allow everyone to mount local drives?
I'm also having your problem of only mounts on first log in with local users, but only for the floppy drive. USB sticks work perfectly with local users, but the floppy drive folder only shows up the first time I log in. Look forward to hearing your update.
