"mount" can only be executed by privileged accounts, in general. Can you try the following to see if the error is coming from mount and not from the tools? Instead of mount execute something like: echo "DID IT" > /tmp/attempt_text Completion should be successful; if it is not, you have a starting point. Then, you will see the owner of the newly created file, which, if it does exist, immediately tells you that mount returns an error, most likely related to permissions. I hope this helps.
