It was a request to send us the content of those two files on your
system - /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab. Something is possibly not right
there and is probably the cause of the "you are not priveleged" error.

So, for assistance, type the following into a terminal:
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab

Then please paste the output into a mail to this list. If you are
unable to use the terminal, then try and open these files in your text
editor.
