Have a look at these exerpts from the mount man page (mount options 
section):

"user - Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The name of the 
mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the file system 
again..."

"users - Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This 
option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden 
by subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid)."

Maybe you should try substituting your 'user' option with 'users'.
