you could try:

try something like this:

dev/sdc2       /media/card    auto    user,noauto,exec,rw,umask=0000 0 0

if that doesn't work do you know what format the card is in? i know it's 
crazy but if it was formatted on a MAC you'll need to reformat it 
because Linux has a heck of a time mounting MAC formatted media rw.
