Check the man page for the mount command and you'll find that the
defaults option implies the nouser option. I'm pretty sure that mount
options are modified by subsequent options which means the defaults
option is overriding the user option. You could try reversing the order,
eg defaults,user and you might get what you're looking for. HTH
