I'm at my machine now and can report as follows:

Mounting a USB stick manually by running:

$ pmount /dev/sda1

gives me this mounted device:

/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type vfat
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=441,umask=077,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,iocharset=iso8859-1)

which I *cannot* unmount using Konqueror.  Selecting 'safely remove'
does not do anything (and I can't see any messages in the logs on this
version of Konqueror).

Mounting the device using Konqueror allows me to unmount it both using
the Konqueror GUI and manually by issuing pumount /dev/sda1.

PS.  I have not set up any fancy USB rules for this drive.
