I did the same thing.  I spent a few hours reading the wrong docs --
everything I was reading said gnome-volume-manager was handling the
mounting by calling pmount. But, it didn't make sense as I could not
find how the options would be passed (and where they would come from).
Finally came across a note about gnome-mount.

$ strings /usr/bin/gnome-mount | grep /bin/
/bin/umount
/bin/mount

$ strings /usr/bin/gnome-mount | grep /system/
/system/storage/volumes/%s
/system/storage/drives/%s
/system/storage/drives/%s/mount_point
/system/storage/drives/%s/mount_options
/system/storage/drives/%s/fstype_override
/system/storage/volumes/%s/mount_point
/system/storage/volumes/%s/mount_options
/system/storage/volumes/%s/fstype_override
/system/storage/default_options/%s/fstype_override
/system/storage/default_options/%s/mount_options
