Can you post your /etc/fstab and point out the partition that you want anyone to be able to mount?
*edit* Actually did you add user to the <opts> column? If that's what you did, then post the /etc/fstab...if not, try it.

What is the error you get when you try to mount as a user? And can you mount the drive as root?
