We can only use mount if there's an entry in fstab and the mount point
exists, as I don't want to introduce an additional suid binary for the
HAL support. That's the advantage of pmount, it doesn't depend on an
entry in /etc/fstab and it will create the mount point on-demand (and
remove it afterwards). I'm pretty sure there's a replacement for this
shipping with Fedora by default, as else you'd need root privilegues to
mount most removable devices reported by HAL.
