Just a thought - is the floppy mounted on start? Try changing the "user" on the fstab floppy line to "users". This allows all users to unmount a device that was originally mounted by another user.

Also, what's the group that your 'new' user belongs to? Check that it belongs to the "staff" group.

Do you get a similar error if you try to mount a cdrom?

No, the floppy is not mounted on start.
I changed user to users in fstab, but no change at all.

This user - called aca (my initials) is member of group staff.

Trying to mount the cdrom (or another mountable dev) from the mounttool does not only produce a similar error, but exactly the SAME: can't find /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab...
Isn't that funny?

Quick checking in the mount tool scripts shows that it uses sudo to mount regardless whether if you user has permission or not.

Either edit the scripts, or give your user sudo access. (does it currently have sudo access?)
