[solved] Using pmount - how?

It seems like I am not able to use pmount:

$ pmount /dev/sdg1 
lock_dir(): creat: No such file or directory
Error: could not lock the mount directory. Another pmount is probably running for this mount point.

The same thing with the --debug option:

$ pmount --debug /dev/sdg1
