That's strange, given the working mount(8) invocation below.

You may also want to check pmount(8) (of the pmount package.)

I guess that it may be because the block device in question
lacks a partition table, and the automounting facility used
assumes that it should have one.
It may be possible to add a partition table to the device
(obviously destroying the contents), but it should be checked
whether the device itself supports writing to a filesystem on a
partition.
