U're wrong. Just check out what 'man pmount' says.

Anyway, U must be in 'plugdev' group if U want to use pmount.

Important note for Debian: The permission to execute pmount is
restricted to members of the system group plugdev. Please add all desk-top users who shall be able to use pmount to this group by executing
adduser user plugdev
(as root).

You are right of course - but:
by "not intended..." I meant what I wrote in the second half of the sentence - it is used as a helper application to automount removable devices in DE's like Gnome...
If you would use it on command-line you could just as well use plain "mount"

For this the user who wants to be able to use this feature needs to be in a certain group sometimes - Ubuntu should have set this up for you - but maybe not...
That is why I mentioned paying attention to any messages during install.
