a) That doesn't really address the mounting issue - you don't want to 
have to involve root for every mount. plugdev means you have 
permission to mount - it doesn't say anything about permissions to 
write to the file system.
b) Try changing permissions on you average run-of-the mill FAT- or 
NTFS-on-a-stick.
