You're right Ron, no harm is done and I agree, it IS really annoying scrolling thru logs/email with hundreds of lines unnecessarily. You can either safely ignore these messages or, if you don't mind losing supermount, avoid the error messages by adding "noauto" to the zip drive entry in /etc/fstab. I chose to add "noatuo" for my cdrom drive a few days ago but I think you may soon become annoyed if you like supermount and use your zip drive often. So far I've only used my cdrom drive once since the change so it has bothered me too much yet and its soooooo nice getting shorter log files.
