What do you mean by "doesn't work"?

There's a FAQ entry on letting users mount filesystems, but in this
case it seems like it would be easier for users (as well as more
secure) if you just configured usbd to mount the disk itself.  I
haven't done this sort of thing myself, but I would expect that doing
the mount in an attach script (and umount in a detach script) would
solve the problem.
