Mount usbfs as user

How can I mount usbfs as a normal user?

# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
/dev/sdb1           /home         ext3      defaults               0      0

#USB:
/dev/sdc1           /mnt/usb      usbfs     noauto,users,rw,devuid=1000,devgid=1000,devmode=0666 0      0

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide            0      0
/dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom1   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
UUID=87a867f9-9f01-48fa-a2b8-617185b956e2 /var ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=a6442537-2487-4832-81c5-52837456abe4 / ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=e6f69ca6-0975-477b-a5fe-dfc09420703f swap swap defaults 0 0

I've tried a lot of different things, but I must be missing something, because nothing has worked. Thanks for any help.

Re: Mount usbfs as user

From your fstab I see that you're trying to mount some removable media not usbfs. usbfs is a _pseudo_ filesystem that _was_ used for collecting data about usb devices. You should provide some actual filesystem in place of "usbfs" (most probably vfat if it is a usb stick you're need to mount). Even better give a try to some automounters like "halevt", "gnome-volume-manager" or similar.
