Can you add "user" to your fstab mount line?

/dev/hda10 /mnt/hda10       ext2     defaults,user         0      0

This will allow any user to mount a directory. (But it's not auto, she would 
have to mount it. gkrellm works well, or if you are using a wm with desktop 
icons it's easy to right click/mount.)
