I don't know anything about the file systems themselves, but I had to put
the following in rc.conf to allow mounting USB devices by a non-priviledged
user:

  devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

I have no idea whether the same applies to the mounts you're talking about
or not, but might be worth a try.
