Udev newbie wants to mount audio CDs & USB drives

I have a permissions problem and a udev problem.Right now,I can only mount as root. I read the advice given in this thread and added myself to the cdrom and disk groups,but it still comes up with "You must be superuser to do this". I tried adding mount with the NOPASSWD rule to sudo,but it gave the same result. Bizarrely,if I try to use sudo to mount,it asks for the password three times then refuses anyway:scratch:.
I'd like to write a udev rule or rules that will let me automatically access my card reader, USB hard drive & DVD-RW (especially ripping/playing audio & burning CDs)as a normal user. As I understand this,this will let me do so without needing to change /etc/fstab.
lsusb gives this:

Code:

Bus 2 Device 2: ID 0458:0037 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) 

Bus 2 Device 1: ID 0000:0000  

Bus 1 Device 4: ID 059f:0651 LaCie, Ltd 

Bus 1 Device 3: ID 05e3:0703 Genesys Logic, Inc. Card Reader

Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000

Kernel version 2.6.17.13 (untouched huge.i)
udev 107 (source version)
udev 097 (!) (listed in packages)
hal 0.5.8.1
dbus 0.93 (linuxpackages.net)

It's not possible to mount audio CD, they don't have a file system (or something). You don't need to mount CDs to rip, play or burn audio CDs.
To mount a USB drive or a card reader as a user, add the option `user' to the options in /etc/fstab like so

Code:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto user,noauto 0 0

read man mount for more

Already have done:

Code:

/dev/hda4        swap            swap        defaults        0  0

/dev/hda2        /                ext3        defaults        1  1

/dev/hda1        /boot            ext2        defaults        1  2

/dev/hda3        /home            ext3        defaults        1  2

/dev/sda1        /usb/usb1        auto noauto,rw,user 0 0

/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 

/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner    0  0

devpts          /dev/pts        devpts      gid=5,mode=620  0  0

proc            /proc            proc        defaults        0  0

It was one of the first things I tried. Besides,I want to use udev to do this for me.

Udev creates the device nodes in /dev, it doesn't handle mounting. That is handled by HAL or whatever application you're trying to use to access /usb/usb1 or /mnt/cdrom.
