I don't know if I am adding useful info, but maybe the following is 
related: I performed a FreeBSD installation (since PC-BSD 8.0 did not 
recognize my SATA harddrive during installation, but that's another story), 
and managed to screw up my system in various ways. Among other things, I 
tried to trouble shoot using the PC-BSD 8.0 beta in live CD mode. Dolphin 
displayed a ReiserFS volume in the left-side "places bar", but double 
clicking it didn't allow me to mount it. IIRC, I received the same error as 
described for the floppy above. Maybe there is a general problem with 
mounting volumes as regular user? IMHO, for the target audience of PC-BSD, 
mounting any type of volumes should generally be allowed as regular user. 
If for some reason, access should be restricted for some users, there 
should be the option to do that, but it shouldn't be the default.

Best regards,
