user mode mounts can cause a lot of problems:

1.) remount is supposed to succeed if mount succeeds:
> mount /mnt/ram
> mount -o remount /mnt/ram
mount: Nur „root“ kann dies tun

2.) umount is refused if dev is mounted several times by user
> mount|grep ram
/dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type ramfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type ramfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
> umount /mnt/ram
umount: /mnt/ram scheint mehrfach eingehängt zu sein
> mount|grep ram
/dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type ramfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type ramfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

3.) privileges of user mount point remain reset
> ls -ld /mnt/ram
drwxrwxrwx 3 elm users 72 2007-06-05 10:39 /mnt/ram
> mount /mnt/ram
> ls -ld /mnt/ram
drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 0 2008-01-22 12:27 /mnt/ram
> chown elm:users /mnt/ram
chown: Ändern des Eigentümers von „/mnt/ram“: Die Operation ist nicht
erlaubt
> sudo chown elm:users /mnt/ram
root's password:
> ls -ld /mnt/ram
drwxr-xr-x 2 elm users 0 2008-01-22 12:27 /mnt/ram
> grep ram /etc/fstab
/dev/ram1             /mnt/ram             ramfs      noauto,user       0 0

Consequently it is possible to mount /dev/ram1 as user, but not to access
/dev/ram1 after mounting unless a root user resets the privileges of the mount
point. That simply does not make sense. I would suggest mount to execute a
chown for user mounts ('user' or 'users' mount option) on the mount point and
additionally a chmod g+u for mounts with the 'users' option on the mount point.
