Hi - followed FAQ but can't mount USB key as user

[Andy Elvey]

Hi all -

 I've recently installed FreeBSD 6.2-release - very impressed! 

Just a small problem. I'm unable to mount my USB key as a user.  ( I can 
mount it as root,  using the
command  "mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt "  ) 

This is what I get when I try to mount it as a user -
$ mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /home/andy
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Permission denied

$ mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Operation not permitted

I followed the instructions in the FAQ ( section 9.23 ) to the letter ( 
the only change being that that doesn't mention
USB devices, so I've substituted the USB device name  da0 for the device 
names there.  )

Here are the relevant bits of information -
Release - FreeBSD 6.2-release running on a Dell OptiPlex P3 system. 

Soon after I inserted the USB key, I ran tail - here's the output -

(  Just before posting here, I was about to add a usb entry to the 
fstab, but then I thought "No -
it wasn't needed for root to mount the device, and adding that to the 
fstab wasn't mentioned in
the FAQ  that I was carefully following"......)

$ groups andy
andy wheel operator

$ cat /etc/rc.conf 
(  removed my IP address details for the purposes of posting here )
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"

So, I'm a bit puzzled as to what I might have missed.   I've now even 
rebooted a couple of times, but
nothing has changed. I can mount the device as root but not as a user.  
So, any suggestions are very
welcome...  Thanks very much for your time  :-)
