Any idea how I can get the mount command to recognise exfat?  It works
as root but not via fstab for users.

bunyip ~ # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tmp
mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
bunyip ~ # mount.exfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tmp
FUSE exfat 0.9.8
bunyip ~ #

Never used exfat myself, but I think you should include "exfat-fuse" in 
fstab

Ah, I was using exfat!

Seems like all the newer high capacity usb thumb drives are exfat so it
will become more common I am sure.
