With system partition, you mean a local partition, right? If so, it is intended that non-root users are not allowed to mount these partitions. If you want to allow that, add the partition to /etc/fstab and add the "user" option. We were discussing of using PolicyKit together with hal, which would allow to dynamically grant root access (after authorization), but PolicyKit is too much in a flux atm so we decided to put this on hold until PolicyKit has matured.
