Not on dsl so I can't check, however I was under the impression that 'mount' had the SUID bit set so that ordinary user dsl effectively had root perms when running mount. Has this changed in the releases you are using? Perhaps my memory is faulty.

User dsl can mount and unmount devices.  However, if the device is mounted by root it is owned by root and therefore it must be umounted by root.

so is this a situation where user dsl is allowed to mount but not unmount ? or is user dsl using sudo for mount but not for unmount?

i really don't want to tell a newbie that he must run emelfm as root for every mount or unmount. i have gotton into bags of trouble before, forgetting that emelfm is left running under root. :blush:
