#man pmount gives: The mount will succeed if all of the following conditions are met:
· device is a block device in /dev/ · device is not in /etc/fstab (if it is, pmount executes mount device as the calling user to handle this transparently). See below for more details. · device is not already mounted according to /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts · if the mount point already exists, there is no device already mounted at it and the directory is empty · device is removable (USB, FireWire, or MMC device, or /sys/block/drive/removable is 1) or whitelisted in /etc/pmount.allow. · device is not locked so i putted my device in /etc/pmount.allow, which worked for /dev/sdXX, but unfortunately not for an entry in the form of /dev/disk/by-uuid/MY_LONG_UUID - which is a pity ...
